A simulator for evaluation of information systems
M. Wayne Shiveley, John Weaver · 1974
A simulation package has been developed to enable a user to evaluate the effectiveness of different types of file structures in the development of Information Systems. The simulator provides a tool to estimate response time for specific types of data structures and files and evaluate the effect of different maintenance procedures. The model provides a tool for the analyst to evaluate the feasibility of different approaches for data collection and analysis. It enables the analyst to develop information systems which are compatible with operations research models.
