Process improvement: simulations on .Net using Highpoint's HighMAST™ simulation toolkit
Pages 1852 - 1859
Abstract
This paper describes the philosophy, architectures and key features of a new .Net-based simulation object model and toolkit called HighMAST™ (Highpoint Modeling and Simulation Toolkit). HighMAST™ is a set of class libraries built on top of Microsoft's .Net platform. It was built to take advantage of the object-oriented flavor and extensive integration plumbing ingrained in the .Net framework. It supports "active entity", "block-based", "workflow-oriented" and several other types of simulation architectures in both the discrete-time and continuous domains. And it enables developers to approach their simulation frameworks or applications in a wide range of languages including such inexpensive and available languages as C# and VB. Net.

Improvement of applications' stability through robust APIs
ASE '14: Proceedings of the 29th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Automated Software EngineeringModern programs require useful and robust APIs to guarantee applications' responsiveness. Given that large APIs can be used by novice developers and that not all experts are infallible, a well-designed API should inform developers about all the possible ...
