Plus ca change...but what changes and what stays the same (2006)
Dickerson, R., Nehaniv, C.L., Wernick, P.
Since 1949 there have been some dramatic changes in the fabrication technology of computing devices but in the design of computing devices and in software technology the changes have been more...

Pfahl, D., Raffo, D.M., Rus, I., Wernick, P.
Since 1998 ProSim has been a successful international workshop that has show-cased the leading research in the Software Process Simulation and Modeling domain. Moreover, it has become one of the...
The naming of systems and software evolvability. (2005)
Loomes, M.J., Nehaniv, C.L., Wernick, P.
Software systems are unlike most entities whose--existence, persistence, development, and integrity as single individuals are presupposed by ordinary acts of naming. This paper broaches the issue of...
A simulation model of self-organising evolvability in software systems. (2005)
Cook, S., Harrison, R., Wernick, P.
The evolvability of a software artifact is its capacity for producing heritable or reusable variants; the inverse quality is the artifact s inertia or resistance to volutionary change. Evolvability...

This paper reports on the 5th International Workshop on Software Process Simulation and Modeling (ProSim 2004), held in Edinburgh, Scotland, from the 24th to 25th May 2004, co-hosted with the 26th...
The impact of using pair programming on system evolution a simulation-based study. (2004)
In this paper we investigate the impact of pair--programming on the long term evolution of software systems. We use system dynamics to build simulation models which predict the trend in system growth...
