simKMU - developing crosscompany, process-integrated, Internet-based simulation services for SMEs

Innovative application and modelling solutions for simulation services are being designed and implemented for small and medium-sized companies (SMEs). The targeted, cost-effective use of simulations in operational processes aims to improve efficiency and competitiveness. Technology-based research, business processes, organisational models, security and legal questions, as well as application issues all play a key role.
Simulation modules and solutions are being developed and will be made available via a Web-based infrastructure which is to be developed. They will be provided as reference models in these areas
