ProSim '98
Software Process Simulation Modeling
June 22-24, 1998 - Silver Falls, Oregon
Software companies are faced with rapid change, heightened global competition, and an increasing need for improvements to cycle time, cost, and quality. Software Process Simulation is an emerging technology that can help cope effectively with these challenges. Software Process Simulation is being applied to the management of software projects, product life cycles, and organizations, in areas such as planning, tracking, staffing policies, resource allocation, analysis of feedback loops, as well as the evaluation of process changes.
The Silver Falls Workshop on Software Process Simulation Modeling (ProSim '98) will bring both researchers and practitioners together in order to jointly explore the benefits of, and issues involved in, Software Process Simulation. The workshop is a forum for presenting the latest advances in this field, promoting the open interchange of ideas, and exploring potentials for collaborative work.
ProSim '98 will focus on the application of Software Process Simulation research to real-world problems, as well as advances which will provide the foundation for Software Process Simulation Modeling in the future. Technical presentations will address a variety of approaches including the application of System Dynamics and Discrete Event Simulation models to support the management of software development.
