Serious game and virtual-based environments have recently been used in business contexts to promote training of business related competences as is the case of business process modeling. Due to its characteristics modern BPM methods rely heavily on computers, since they are used as a tool for model, simulate and analyze a process and its effects on the organizations. Several authors argue that t...

Software process simulation modeling: Why? What? How?

Software process simulation modeling is increasingly being used to address a variety of issues from the strategic management of software development, to supporting process improvements, to software project management training. The scope of software process simulation applications ranges from narrow focused portions of the life cycle to longer term product evolutionary models with broad organiza...
