Request for system boundary setting guidance
Posted: Wed Apr 26, 2000 11:53 am
I am currently struggling with how to create boundaries around
processes/systems. I have read a couple of texts about Computer
Simulation, and find “Introduction to Computer Simulation” by Nancy
Roberts, David Anderson, Ralph Deal et al very useful in this area.
Could anyone recommend other texts or sources to help me?
Thanks

Several colleagues and I developed an SD model-based simulator to help
newspapers evaluate different strategies for making the transition from their
traditional print business to online delivery of news and e-commerce. An
elaborate set of interfaces and "canned" runs enable users without a
model-building background to use this strategy simulator to look at a variety
of strategies for a hypothetical newspaper/media company as well as
developing their own variants. The simulator can be downloaded from the
website www.simventure.com While not totally about e-commerce, this
application has a significant e-business component. Hope this is helpful.
