This fully updated and expanded new edition of Modelling and Simulation presents a practical introduction to the fundamental aspects of modelling and simulation. It provides the necessary foundations both for those wishing to learn about this methodology and also for those who have a need to apply it in their work. Illustrative examples are drawn from projects formulated within the domains of both discrete-event dynamic systems and continuous-time dynamic systems. Topics and features: Presents a project-oriented (i.e., goal-based) perspective on modelling and simulation Describes an updated novel activity based conceptual modelling framework (the ABCmod framework) for discrete-event dynamic systems Includes a new chapter that presents a novel world view, the Activity-Object world view, which eases the translation of a conceptual model specification in the ABCmod framework into a simulation program Contains numerous illustrative examples and useful algorithms, in addition to exercises and projects at the end of most chapters Includes a primer on probability, a concise guide to the GPSS programming environment and an overview of relevant MATLAB features in the appendices Provides supplementary software and teaching support material at an associated website, including lecture slides and a methodology for organizing student projects Students at the senior undergraduate or junior graduate level will find this hands-on textbook/reference to be an essential guide to the fundamentals of modelling and simulation. It is also ideally suited for self-study by professionals seeking insight into the vast potential of this rapidly evolving problem-solving paradigm. 410 0$aSimulation Foundations, Methods and Applications,$x2195-2825 606 $aComputer graphics 606 $aComputer simulation 606 $aEngineering mathematics 606 $aEngineering$xData processing 606 $aMathematics$xData processing 606 $aEconomics 606 $aComputer Graphics 606 $aComputer Modelling 606 $aMathematical and Computational Engineering Applications 606 $aComputational Science and Engineering 606 $aEconomics 615 0$aComputer graphics. 615 0$aComputer simulation. 615 0$aEngineering mathematics. 615 0$aEngineering$xData processing. 615 0$aMathematics$xData processing. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 14$aComputer Graphics. 615 24$aComputer Modelling. 615 24$aMathematical and Computational Engineering Applications. 615 24$aComputational Science and Engineering. 615 24$aEconomics. 676 $a003.3 700 $aBirta$b Louis G$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01061379 702 $aArbez$b Gilbert$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437581803321 996 $aModelling and Simulation$92518658 997 $aUNINA
