Modeling and Simulation of Discrete Event Systems (Repost)

Computer modeling and simulation (M&S) allows engineers to study and analyze complex systems. Discrete–event system (DES)–M&S is used in modern management, industrial engineering, computer science, and the military. As computer speeds and memory capacity increase, so DES–M&S tools become more powerful and more widely used in solving real–life problems. Based on over 20 years of evolution within a classroom environment, as well as on decades–long experience in developing simulation–based solutions for high–tech industries, Modeling and Simulation of Discrete–Event Systems is the only book on DES–M&S in which all the major DES modeling formalisms – activity–based, process–oriented, state–based, and event–based – are covered in a unified manner: A well–defined procedure for building a formal model in the form of event graph, ACD, or state graph Diverse types of modeling templates and examples that can be used as building blocks for a complex, real–life model A systematic, easy–to–follow procedure combined with sample C# codes for developing simulators in various modeling formalisms Simple tutorials as well as sample model files for using popular off–the–shelf simulators such as SIGMA®, ACE®, and Arena® Up–to–date research results as well as research issues and directions in DES–M&S Modeling and Simulation of Discrete–Event Systems is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students of simulation/industrial engineering and computer science, as well as for simulation practitioners and researchers.
