The Simalytic Modeling Dissertation Project

Simalytic Modeling was developed as part of the Doctoral dissertation "The Simalytic Modeling Technique as Applied to Capacity Planning in a Multi-Platform Enterprise" by Dr. Tim R. Norton. Although the dissertation has been completed and published (PDF format available below), this is on-going research. Anyone interested in assistance with the implementation of Simalytic Modeling for an existing application is encouraged to contact Dr. Norton for advice or encouragement. Consulting services are also available.
