System Operator Console - Specification (DRAFT)

The System Operator Console is a software interface to all the major components of the TMC Simulation. It allows the system operator to manage the operation of a simulation session. Key features are:

• specify session configuration options such as selecting the list of current students
• launch a simulation session
• reset log files
• perform post-session tasks such as creating the unified log output
