As simulation technology matures, there is an increasing demand for the development of useful products within specified time and cost constraints. Hence, simulation studies must be managed and measured by the same criteria as other large projects. The project described in this paper, a behavioral study of a possible national computer network, requires the implementation of a large and complex simulation model. In order to manage better the many individuals and diverse groups contributing to the overall effort, many of the new advances in project management, software design, and programming technology have been adopted. The results of this effort tend to support the economies and efficiencies in programming, as well as improvements in reliability, usually claimed by advocates of these techniques. More significantly, these approaches make it possible to keep all participants active in overall project progress. They have also permitted a work segmentation that takes advantage of the variety of personnel available to the project.
