See Goerss-Jardine chapter VIII for simplicial cats and simplicial functors. This has applications to homotopy coherence. “The main result of this chapter (due to Dwyer and Kan, Theorem 2.13 below) is a generalization of the assertion that simplicial functors of the form are equivalent to diagrams of the form in the case where the simplicial category A is a resolution of the category I. ”
