Abstract

SimSWE is a library of components for modeling and simulation of software engineering processes. It consists of a generic, implementation independent description of the components and a reference implementation using the MATLAB® / Simulink® environment. By providing ready-to-use building blocks for typical functionality, the library should facilitate and ease the use of simulation to analyze software engineering issues. The goals are to provide a collection of reusable components within an open and evolvable framework to help practitioners develop simulation models faster and enable researchers to implement complex modeling and simulation tasks. Currently, the library contains more than thirty components. It can be used under the LPGL license. The paper presents the current status of SimSWE to encourage its use and participation within the research community.
