Process Modelling: a critical analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite the growing literature on this topic almost no independent critical analysis or evaluation has been available. This paper attempts to fill that gap. In particular we will be reflecting on experience with the Marvel environment from Columbia University. Marvel is the paradigm case of the software process modelling approach to building software development environments. In this paper we examine Marvel’s strengths and limitations and look in detail at a small example of its use. We use this analysis as a basis for suggesting a research agenda for software process modelling.

متن کاملFailure Analysis of a Four Cylinder Diesel Engine Crankshaft Made From Nodular Cast Iron
The premature breakage in some four cylinder diesel engine crankshafts was reported. All crankshafts were failed from the same region. Failures had occurred in the first crankpin, the nearest crankpin to the flywheel. Dynamic analysis and finite element modelling were carried out to determine the state of stress in the crankshaft. FEM results revealed that the first crankpin fillet is the most ...
