An approach to a hybrid software process simulation using the DEVS formalism
KeungSik Choi, Doo‐Hwan Bae, Tag-Gon Kim · Software Process Improvement and Practice · 2006
This article proposes an approach to a hybrid software process simulation modeling (SPSM) using discrete event system specification (DEVS) formalism, which implements the dynamic structure and discrete characteristics of the software development process. Many previous researchers on hybrid SPSM have described both discrete and continuous aspects of the software development process to provide more realistic simulation models. The existing hybrid models, however, have not fully implemented the feedback loop mechanism of the system dynamics. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
