The NAADSM model specification
The NAADSM model specification is intended to be a plain-language description of the simulation model implemented in NAADSM. Its purposes are to facilitate agreement among current team members on details of the model, to provide a basis for functional testing, and to provide future team members and other users with a complete but accessible description of the model.
Development of NAADSM is on-going, and new versions of the program are written to conform to updated versions of the model description. The following table shows the relationships between versions of the NAADSM application and the model description.
| Major application version | Specification version | Most recent corresponding application release | Older corresponding application releases | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NAADSM 3.1 |
Model specification 1.1
Latest revision: 1.1.0(May 29, 2007) |
NAADSM 3.1.16 (June 25, 2007) |
3.1.15 | |
| NAADSM 3.0 |
Model specification 1.0
Latest revision: 1.0.7 (April 24, 2007) |
NAADSM 3.0.84 (October 30, 2006) |
3.0.83, 3.0.82, 3.0.81, 3.0.80, 3.0.79 | |
| Note: The features of NAADSM 3.0 are a subset of those available in NAADSM 3.1. Scenarios developed for NAADSM 3.0 will run in NAADSM 3.1 without modification. Use of NAADSM 3.1 rather than NAADSM 3.0 is highly recommended. | ||||
The NAADSM User's Guide
The User's Guide for NAADSM 3.0 is the primary source of information for users of NAADSM. Among the topics covered in the Guide are:
- Basic principles of stochastic modeling
- The conceptual design of NAADSM
- Input parameters required for NAADSM
- Operation of the NAADSM/PC application
- Output from an NAADSM simulation
An updated edition of the User's Guide, for NAADSM 3.1, is now in preparation.
Programmer's documentation
Documentation for application programmers is included with the NAADSM source code.
