I want to obtain specification about a "what if application"- whose
main purpose is to find the effect on the system if a change is made.
I am intereted
in the algorithm and the structure of such applications.

Hi! Thanks for visiting us. Are you looking for white papers or case
studies about scenario applications? Just let me know.

Hi imasud-ga,

I have spent a serious amount of time looking specification documents
for this type of application and I have concluded that none exist
because:

1. These types of applications don't all fit into one "type" of
structure
2. There are very few effective commercial products out there capable
of solving these types of problems while taking into account the
nuances of the various scenarios that it could be presented with.
3. These documents are often developed by large corporations and are
therefore proprietary information and considered trade secrets.


I have plenty of personal experience with the mathematical models
often used to create these types of applications, both through my
academic and professional careers. I would be happy to provide my own
views of how to go about coming up with a structure for a given
application. There are also algorithms used to first come up with a
solution (on paper) that are essential to effective applications of
this sort.

Please let me know if you are interested in this sort of analysis
instead.

Thanks,

Hello imasud,

Perhaps you could clarify your question with...
 - describe the type of systems you are interested in
 - provide an example of a "what if" change in that system
 - explain the type of analysis you want to perform
There may also be some uncertainty by the word "specification" - can
you explain what you mean by that?

The reason I ask is your question appears to be too open ended to
myself (and perhaps other researchers). If you are simulating a
system, there are a number of different techniques (e.g., finite
element analysis, petri nets, mix of hardware and software elements)
and the answer to your question will vary based on the type of
simulation being used.

Hi,
I am not working with what if senario project anymore. So I dont want
any research on it.
Instead I want to a Graph data structure implementation details in
C++.
I dont want an alredy built library,( which are easy to find). 
I need an explanantion on how to make a graph class in C++ from
scartch. Wiht proper relationship between node class and edges class.
And what data structures are used to built a graph class.

sorry for any inconvience for change in question
Imran.
