Abstract
Today’s companies in high-tech industries develop products of high complexity which consist of complicated subsystems with many heterogeneous components integrated together. As the system complexity increases, it becomes increasingly more challenging to manage the tedious development process. The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) was proposed as a general framework for process management and improvement which judges the maturity of a process. Simulations have long been regarded as complex and integrated systems. Simulation system engineering manages the total simulation system’s life-cycle process. The adaptation of the CMMI for simulation life-cycle processes is envisioned as a domain specific solution for simulation process management and improvement. This article investigates the opportunities of extending the CMMI engineering process area with emphasis in simulation system engineering, having its roots from IEEE Recommended Practice for Distributed Simulation Engineering and Execution Process (DSEEP).
