Netmeeting: a Tool for Collaborative Simulation Modelling
نویسنده
چکیده
Effective collaboration in simulation modelling is possibly one of the key factors in the success of a simulation project. Computer Supported Cooperative Work is a research field that has investigated this in other domains. This field has led to the technological development of software, or groupware, to facilitate group working. This paper investigates the appropriateness of groupware in simulation modelling by introducing Microsoft’s NetMeeting, an exemplar of this technology. This groupware is discussed in terms of simulation modelling activities. A short survey of expert opinion is also presented to evaluate the usefulness of this technology. The survey shows that application sharing is clearly perceived to be the most useful feature of NetMeeting.

An Investigation into the Use of Net-Conferencing Groupware in Simulation Modelling
Simulation modellers are major users of software tools. Advances in computing such as collaborative working tools and distributed technologies have created new possibilities for innovation in simulation modelling. Collectively, we address these as Collaborative Support for Simulation Modelling (CSSM). To contribute to CSSM, we consider the problem of whether or not it is possible to support hum...
متن کاملProceedings of the 2000 Winter Simulation Conference
This paper recognises that good communication and interaction are key factors to the success of a simulation project and suggests that groupware technology can increase the chances of success. To underline this, the paper reviews the process of simulation to illustrate the amount of communication and interaction that must take place during a simulation project. The paper then discusses computer...
متن کاملModelling and Numerical Simulation of Cutting Stress in End Milling of Titanium Alloy using Carbide Coated Tool
Based on the cutting force theory, the cutting stress in end milling operation was predicted satisfactorily through simulation of using finite element method. The mechanistic force models were introduced in high accuracy force predictions for most applications. The material properties in the simulations were defined based on the cutting force theory, as a function of strain and strain rate wher...
