Abstract

This book describes the fundamentals of discrete-event simulation from the perspective of highly interactive PC and workstation environments. It focuses on modeling, programming, input-data preparation, output-data analysis, and presentation of results. It includes a detailed account of alternative modeling and programming methods and a description of the principal concepts of delay systems, the generic setting for most discrete-event simulations. Examples carried throughout the book illustrate how different concepts apply. The book is intended for an introductory course on discrete-event simulation for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in the mathematical and engineering sciences, particularly operations research, industrial engineering, operations management (business), computer science, telecommunications engineering, and transportation engineering. It will also serve as a useful reference for professionals in these fields who wish to broaden their knowledge of discrete-event simulation.
