einen Vortrag halten zum Thema:

 

 

Software Process Simulation: Why - What - How?

 

Software Process Simulation is a tool that has shown some success in addressing issues of strategic management, project management planning and control, technology adoption, training and understanding. Some of the unique advantages over other types of model formulations include:

 

(1) Ability to incorporate relationships from multiple modelling paradigms.

(2) Ability to include empirically observed distributions.

(3) Ability to capture rich causality models.

(4) Freedom to explore risks and changes in scenarios to support decision-making.

(5) Capturing of dynamic system behavior.

 

The talk motivates the use of current process simulation paradigms along with their advantages and limitations. Examples of successful applications will be presented to demonstrate the feasability and usefulness of one of the most popular paradigms, i.e. System Dynamics modeling and simulation. The talk concludes with a proposal of a new research direction that aims at using process simulation for theory building in software engineering.
