Software process simulation modeling: Why? What? How?

Software are Processes Too

A process defines the way activities are organized, managed, measured, supported and improved to reach a goal. It has been shown, 15 years ago [1] that processes are software too; more precisely that their description can also be software. We hypothesize that a system can be characterized by its goal and by answering the questions: why, what and how. We show that software process work investiga...

Diffusion of Innovation in Mental Health Policy Adoption: What Should We Ask about the Quality of Policy and the Role of Stakeholders in this Process?; Comment on “Cross-National Diffusion of Mental Health Policy”

In his recent study, Gordon Shen analyses a pertinent question facing the global mental health research and practice community today; that of how and why mental health policy is or is not adopted by national governments. This study identifies becoming a World Health Organization (WHO) member nation, and being in regional proximity to countries which have adopted a mental health policy as suppor...

Modeling and Identification Based On CAN Network Information in Iranian Cars

    Modeling and identification of the system of Iranian cars is one of the most basic needs of automotive and consumer groups and has a broad role for safe driving. It has happened with speed increasing or changing of shift gear, effects on water temperature or the car's torque has been observed, but how much and how intensely and with what algorithm this effect is identifiable, can be modeled...

Simulation Standards : Current Status , Needs , and Future Directions

How could the manufacturing modeling and simulation process be improved? Today simulation analysts typically code their models from scratch and build custom data translators to import required data. Manufacturing simulations often are built as single monolithic software systems. The development of neutral, vendor-independent data formats for storing simulation models and transferring data could...
