Abstract

This paper and the tutorial session with which it is associated treat the fundamental concepts of digital simulation. The topics discussed include system modeling, simulation models and their advantages and disadvantages relative to mathematical models, the development of simulation and current applications, the role of simulation modeling in systems analysis and simulation languages. The paper and the tutorial are presented at a level which requires no previous exposure to digital simulation. However, familiarity with the fundamentals of probability, probability distributions and inferential statistics will facilitate the participant's understanding of the material presented.
