The database model CDM intended for modelling design objects is presented. All properties of design objects are modelled by functions. For modelling dynamic dependencies among objects we introduce the notion of dynamic function. The dynamic function comprises capabilities for the description of the object static structure and algorithmic dependencies among objects. Some constraints and practica...

Dynamic modelling is a frequently used approach for solving problems in interorganizational systems. In order to construct valid models of such systems, representatives of the individual organizations must be involved in the modelling process. Current approaches of dynamic modelling use a form of 'consultative design' for handling the participation of organizational representatives. Based on fi...

Multi-agent systems exhibit highly dynamic behaviour within dynamic environments. Modelling of individual agents within such systems demands considering both evolving data structures and the control over their internal changing states. In addition, modelling of the overall system implies modelling of the agents’ configuration, including their ability to exchange messages as well as the ability ...

Dynamic modelling is steadily expanding and consolidating as one of the fundamental approaches in many industries including telecommunication, software development, aircraft and aerospace etc. It is particularly expressive and versatile also in modelling the specification of a complex mobile scenario. However, while the modelling of the static part of a mobile scenario results well suited and e...

The paper deals with the modular hierarchical modelling and simulation possibilities of the simulation language SIMCOS. After a brief description of the modular modelling possibilities of modern modelling and simulation tools, the emphasis is put on the concept of precompiled dynamic submodels implemented in the SIMCOS simulation language. The simulation processor distinguishes between static, ...

The high failure rates of many business process change deployments are attributed to the inability to predict the outcome of the exercise without actually implementing the change in the physical environment. This restriction could be a result of over 80% of business process change projects adopting a static modelling technique in order to model their business processes. Static modelling enables...
