Hi, as a doctoral student, I'm currently looking for computerized tools supporting activity or enterprise modelling. The main application is to model complex engineering activities and to be able to decompose these activities into simpler and more specialized tasks. The tools should therefore have some kind of abstraction mechanism (like multiple layers or explode/implode).
The tools should allow the user to perform simple simulations on models, like navigating and performing computations based on activity attribute values. This requires functionality past simple drawing/sketching tools. There should also be support for multiple users (not necessarily concurrent).
Tools may be free or commercial, but it should be fairly stable and easy to use. The tools should preferably run on PCs using MS Windows, but UNIX-based systems are of equal interest.
Does anyone out there have knowledge of products that may match my needs? If so, please send me some info (preferrably by email, if there should be any response I'll post a compiled list).
I'm aware that there probably aren't many tools available that satisfy these requirements, so please also notify me of products with less than the requested functionality.

I took a peek into the anonymous ftp database ftp.einet.net and found several interesting articles, so I hope you may be able to send me some pointers to available tools.
Best regards, Terje T.
