Abstract

Teaching software engineering as well as researching in this area is very tedious due to the length and costliness of software projects. SESAM therefore is designed as a simulator for software projects, allowing students to gain reality-like experiences in project management and researchers to evaluate hypotheses on the mechanisms influencing software projects. This paper focuses on the basic assumptions for SESAM, its building blocks and the way hypotheses are affecting the simulation. After a short description of the requirements for SESAM we introduce objects, attributes, actions, relationships between objects and hypotheses as its basic concepts. We present attributed graph grammars as a means for representing hypotheses. Finally we position our project with respect to related work, and we show its present state and future development.
