 Today's ecological modelling and simulation code typically only support static workflows. Users can only interact with the running code to terminate a run when input data and parameter files have been produced in advance and are read by the code at startup. If data re-integration is necessary, it is typically done manually using static, sanitised input files produced from data sources to interact with observation systems, data archives, and experiments. This presents a challenge in using legacy ecological models and simulations in Digital Twins.
