The simulation project life-cycle: models and realities

Published: 03 December 2006 Publication History

Abstract

This panel session will discuss various issues regarding simulation life-cycle models. Simulation life-cycles models have received little attention, and this panel session seeks to generate interest in this topic and stimulate new ideas for development, teaching, and use of these models.
