ProSim'04-the 5th international workshop on software process simulation and modeling

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 International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2004). Since 1998, ProSim has been a successful international workshop that show-cases the leading research in the software process simulation and modeling domain and attracts many of the leading researchers and industrial practitioners in these areas. In 2004, ProSim attracted more than 30 participants from America, Asia, Australia/New Zealand and Europe. According to the feedback received from participants, the goals of this workshop were fully achieved. The planning of ProSim 2005 has yet been started.
