SmallSim is a business simulation tool that helps in building complex models, and then execute these models. With SmallSim you create executable models. The important differentiating characteristic of SmallSim is that SmallSim is not only executable, it is a full-fledged simulation environment to execute the models in.
This article introduces a tool developed by Rob Vens for process modelling and mining. It uses a language similar to BPMN. Only better! It has full support for also executing your models in a realistic way using a full-fledged simulation environment.
How do you create a deployment process that automatically creates packages to deliver to your users for all supported platforms with a little fuss as possible? This article tries to provide a concise guide for standalone VisualWorks application developers. If you, like me, are building standalone apps that need to deploy on all supported platforms, you will encounter some interesting challenges. I have reached a strategy that works reasonably well, and I would like to share that strategy, hopefully benefiting others.
