P0725336：企业软件开发中基于过程驱动和仿真的知识聚合实验平台管理信息系统，亚利桑那大学合作伙伴：布赖恩麦高夫，夸利基金会，印第安纳州大学合作伙伴：基思普罗文，系。亚利桑那大学管理与组织学系副教授：孙永俊软件开发是一项复杂的奋进，特别是对于需要形成复杂社交网络的许多利益相关者协作的企业软件系统。该项目的重点是开发一个测试平台，用于企业软件开发中的过程驱动和基于模拟的知识聚集，称为“Saguaro软件模拟测试平台”（或简称Saguaro SIM）。从本质上讲，ISOSIM是一个活的知识库，能够在企业软件开发的背景下支持复杂的社交网络中的有效沟通。 特别是，该项目将概念框架和软件系统的开发和验证置于Kuali的背景下，Kuali是一个基于社区的开放源码项目，目前正在由九所主要大学组成的联盟（www.kuali.org）开发。 该试验平台将导致更好的工具，使更有效的管理知识的软件工程。此外，该软件还将帮助开发若干相关领域的教学模块，如软件工程、系统分析和设计、知识管理、工作流程管理和模拟。最后，这项研究将有助于开发更好，更便宜的软件系统。

P0725336: SOFTSIM - a Testbed for Process-Driven and Simulation-Based Knowledge Conglomeration in Enterprise Software DevelopmentPI: J. Leon Zhao, Dept. of Management Information Systems, University of ArizonaCo-PI: Brian McGough, Kuali Foundation, Indiana UniversityCo-PI: Keith Provan, Dept. of Management and Organizations, University of Arizona Co-PI: Young-Jun Son, Dept. of Systems and Industrial Engineering, University of ArizonaSoftware development is a complex endeavor, especially for enterprise software systems that require the collaboration of many stakeholders that form a complex social network. This project focuses on developing a testbed for process-driven and simulation-based knowledge conglomeration in enterprise software development called "Saguaro Software Simulation Testbed" (or simply SOFTSIM). Essentially, SOFTSIM is a live knowledgebase that is capable of supporting effective communication in a complex social network in the context of enterprise software development. In particular, the project situates the development and validation of the conceptual framework and software system in the context of Kuali, which is a community-based open source project currently under development by a consortium of nine major universities ( www.kuali.org). The SOFTSIM testbed will lead to better tools that enable more effective management of knowledge in software engineering. Further, SOFTSIM will help derive teaching modules in several related areas such as software engineering, systems analysis and design, knowledge management, workflow management, and simulation. Finally, this research will contribute to the development of better and less expensive software systems.
