: This report, prepared for the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), describes an assessment of the feasibility of utilizing simulation techniques to aid in the management of large-scale software developments. A model of the software development process was constructed, state-of-the-art prototype simulation tools used, and an experiment conducted to demonstrate the feasibility. A result of this effort is the concept of a Software Development Process Simulator which could be utilized to assist in project planning (cost estimation) and project control (progress status assessment).
