An insightful presentation of the key concepts, paradigms, and
applications of modeling and simulation
Modeling and simulation has become an integral part of research
and development across many fields of study, having evolved from a
tool to a discipline in less than two decades. Modeling and
Simulation Fundamentals offers a comprehensive and
authoritative treatment of the topic and includes definitions,
paradigms, and applications to equip readers with the skills needed
to work successfully as developers and users of modeling and
simulation.
Featuring contributions written by leading experts in the field,
the book's fluid presentation builds from topic to topic and
provides the foundation and theoretical underpinnings of modeling
and simulation. First, an introduction to the topic is presented,
including related terminology, examples of model development, and
various domains of modeling and simulation. Subsequent chapters
develop the necessary mathematical background needed to understand
modeling and simulation topics, model types, and the importance of
visualization. In addition, Monte Carlo simulation, continuous
simulation, and discrete event simulation are thoroughly discussed,
all of which are significant to a complete understanding of
modeling and simulation. The book also features chapters that
outline sophisticated methodologies, verification and validation,
and the importance of interoperability. A related FTP site features
color representations of the book's numerous figures.
Modeling and Simulation Fundamentals encompasses a
comprehensive study of the discipline and is an excellent book for
modeling and simulation courses at the upper-undergraduate and
graduate levels. It is also a valuable reference for researchers
and practitioners in the fields of computational statistics,
engineering, and computer science who use statistical modeling
techniques.
