Title
IMPROVING THE UNDERSTANDING OF CONCEPTUAL MODELLING
Abstract
Conceptual modelling, determining what to include in the model and at what level of detail, affects model performance directly. However, it has so far received little attention in the literature mainly because conceptual modelling is viewed as more of an art than science. This paper describes two preliminary studies on conceptual modelling. In the first study, data on the time spent on the different topics during a simulation project by an expert and by novice modellers was collected and analysed. The second study was an experiment to investigate the effects of different aspects of model complexity on the ease of understanding of the model and on model build time.
