Abstract

A method for generating input information associated with a question to be provided to a simulation device on-board a platform. The question is elected among a plurality of questions. A simulation criterion corresponding to the simulation is determined. A simulation scenario is modified depending upon the question. The input information is generated depending upon the elected question and the simulation criterion.
