Modelling and Simulation : Exploring Dynamic System Behaviour, Paperback by Birta, Louis G.; Arbez, Gilbert, ISBN 303018871X, ISBN-13 9783030188719, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US<p>This hands-on textbook/reference presents an introduction to the fundamental aspects of modelling and simulation, both for those wishing to learn about this methodology and also for those who have a need to apply it in their work. The text is supported by illustrative examples, drawn from projects formulated within the domains of discrete-event dynamic systems (DEDS) and continuous-time dynamic systems (CTDS).</p><p>This updated new edition has been enhanced with new illustrative case studies, and additional examples demonstrating some new features and the effectiveness of the ABCmod conceptual modelling framework.&nbsp; Changes that facilitate the development of simulation models with ABSmod/J are illustrated.&nbsp; New material includes a presentation of the experimentation strategy called “design of experiments” and three new chapters that explore the optimization-simulation and features: presents a goal-based and project-oriented perspective of&nbsp; modelling and simulation; describes the ABCmod framework, an activity-based conceptual modelling framework for DEDS; examines the simulation-optimization interface in both the CTDS and DEDS domains; provides&nbsp; numerous illustrative examples, case studies&nbsp; and useful algorithms, as well as&nbsp; exercises and projects at the end of most chapters; includes appendices on probability and statistics, the GPSS programming environment, and relevant MATLAB features; provides supplementary software and teaching support material at an associated website, including lecture slides and a methodology for organizing student as an essential guide to the foundations of modelling and simulation, this practical primer is ideal for senior undergraduate and junior graduate-level students. Also suitable for self-study, th will be of great benefit to professionals seeking insight into the vast potential of this rapidly evolving problem-solving paradigm.</p>
