Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems were introduced into companies to solve various organisational problems, and to provide an integrated infrastructure. Although ERP packages offer advantages to enterprises, they have not achieved many of their anticipated benefits. Autonomous and heterogeneous applications co-exist in companies with ERP systems and integration problem having not been addr...Show More
Although the inherent interrelationships between business processes and the underlying Information Technology (IT) infrastructure imply that the design of these two organisational facets should be performed in parallel, this doesn't appear to be the case in practice. For example, simulation is being extensively used in both the business and the IT domains, albeit in a disjoint fashion. In this pap...Show More
Government-sponsored manufacturing extension services, modeled after cooperative extension, have been established to provide technical and business assistance to small to medium sized manufacturers (SME). Assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of SME has become a necessary diagnostic procedure for manufacturing extension services. One such assessment procedure, QuickView, has clearly demonstra...Show More
Uses an experimental approach to investigate the representational effects of knowledge on maintainability, and compares this with the structural effects of rule sets investigated by Davis (1990). Results show that an object-based system, compared to a structured rule-based system, was easier to maintain in terms of the time to do the maintenance tasks, but not necessarily in terms of accuracy of t...Show More
Research and practice has produced numerous methods for expert system verification and validation (V&V) that augment traditional software and systems approaches to V&V. This paper shows how to develop a strategy for expert system V&V. A strategy for V&V has three components: 1) the criteria by which an expert system will be judged as valid, 2) a life cycle model that specifies what V&V can be done...Show More
Pascal_SIM is a tool kit for producing simulations in Pascal, developed specifically for teaching discrete event simulation. We have gained considerable experience with Pascal_SIM, and have produced a text called Simulation Modelling with Pascal (published by Prentice Hall International) that is based upon these routines. This tutorial is an introduction to using Pasca and Pascal_SIM as a basis fo...
