:For the past four years I have worked on projects and published
:papers involving the modeling of systems using objects. This work has
:gone beyond simple static models ala Rumbaugh and Coad/Yourdon into
:executable simulations of systems of cooperating objects such as
:business processes, client server systems, and network management
:systems. These simulations have proved extremely useful in
:identifying and verifying the completeness and robustness of the
:system architectures prior to their implementations in software,
:hardware, or flesh.

:My question is, if someone were to put a package together of software
:and education materials specifically focused on object simulations
:and provide these in a 2-3 day course, would there be any interest?
:Or is simulation a topic to esoteric for general audiences?

I could be wrong but aren't there other simulation packages out there.
As to its value, all models are wrong but some are useful, and I do
believe that executable models would be of great value since they
help people to understand what is actually going on, as opposed to
what they think is going on.  Notperfectly, but another useful tool.
