Description:

Simulation has become a frequently used tool for the analysis of ICT and BP systems and for fitting the features of these systems with each other and with the goals of the enterprise. For example, the change management of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems is a significant generator of the need for the common analysis of ICT/BP systems and the use of simulation may play crucial role in their analysis. The paper formulates the problem context state approach to the meta-level performance management of simulation in the form of efficiency management principles. The formulation is based on the investigation of the features of the dynamic behavior of problem contexts - using the 4-state and 2-state models of problem context types - for the common modeling and simulation of organizational ICT/BP systems. The process of the occurrence and elimination of the methodological gap is explained too.
