Description
brings real-world experience to the job of designing complex information systems by establishing a framework of consistent, experientially-based models, rather than relying on specific algorithmic structures or techniques. It thereby helps system designers and software engineers simplify the process of developing complicated systems.

Content
Today's software designers are frequently called upon to incorporate increasingly diverse and dynamically changing technologies into everyday business operations. "SIM" is a recently devised methodology created by the author for identifying the components of a complex system and combining them into a well-structured framework in which the interaction of these components faithfully represents the operations of the system. It addresses the need for a practical and effective way to combine diverse technologies with the ultimate goal of delivering what is really wanted. This "Systems Integration Methodology" enables conscious decisions to be made that are consistent with project goals, and the system's general responsibilities. This process results in a system that is highly reflective of the organization in which it operates, as opposed to the system designer's best "speculative" results. Accompanying the book is a cross-platform CD-ROM containing student projects, animations, templates and proprietary, author-developed software for helping students and professionals alike to develop and model their own system's needs.
