[en] This paper deals with a new version of a web-based software simulation tool MLD-STAR (Management Learning and Decision making – Simulation Tool with Anticipation and Retardation), for the numerical simulation of mathematical models of management systems. A new algorithm is presented to automatically compute the numerical values of the parameters of models to be simulated. The main idea consists in generating successive sets of values of the parameters of the model with a random number generator, and to use a selection criterion for accepting or rejecting the sets of values. This self-adapting parameters method is so based on a Darwinian process of selection. Results of simulations with such self-adapting parameters are given in using the mathematical model given in Dubois and Holmberg (2006).
