Short description
Simulation modeling is one of the most powerful techniques available for studying large and complex systems. This book is the first ever to bring together the top 30 international experts on simulation from both industry and academia. All aspects of simulation are covered, as well as the latest simulation techniques. Most importantly, the book walks the reader through the various industries that use simulation and explains what is used, how it is used, and why.
