Abstract

It is commonly agreed that software developments tend to be high risk activities; simulation is recognized as being even more “exciting”. Great emphasis is being placed to develop methodologies which lower the risk of software development. Since a major portion of simulation activity is software oriented, it is natural to look to these modern software methodologies for solutions applicable to the modeling and simulation community. The total solution to current dilemmas is many years away. However, significant progress is being made to develop a comprehensive software development methodology that is readily extendable to simulation activities. The major additional burden of modeling and simulation is the handling of the system modeling part of the process. This paper introduces an Integrated Software Methodology (ISOMET) currently in use which has been successfully applied to simulation projects. Modifications to the methodology to accommodate specialized modeling considerations are discussed.
