Subtitle: Why conceptual modeling matters and how to make it work ?
Abstract: Is Conceptual Modeling a lost art? Why haven’t we done better in make things understandable and reusable for the purposes of M&S? Can we do a better job of using M&S as an early stage tool for supporting system and software engineering? This paper examines each of these questions revealing how conceptual modeling can be used as a significant and profound activity for most development processes. We explore the recent advancements proposed for the SISO BOM standard, detailing how it can be used to create conceptual models that stick to models, simulation and software components, and related M&S assets (including scenarios and databases) yielding the following key benefits:
(1) greater understanding / comprehension of M&S assets,
(2) greater opportunity for future reuse of M&S assets,
(3) easier maintainability of M&S assets, and finally
(4) smoother transition and greater success pertaining to other steps in the process such as unit testing, analysis, and production of documentation.
