Handbook of Simulation: Principles, Methodology, Advances, Applications, and Practice

The only complete guide to all aspects and uses of simulation-fromthe international leaders in the fieldThere has never been a single definitive source of key informationon all facets of discrete-event simulation and its applications tomajor industries. The Handbook of Simulation brings together thecontributions of leading academics, practitioners, and softwaredevelopers to offer authoritative coverage of the principles,techniques, and uses of discrete-event simulation.Comprehensive in scope and thorough in approach, the Handbook isthe one reference on discrete-event simulation that everyindustrial engineer, management scientist, computer scientist,operations manager, or operations researcher involved inproblem-solving should own, with an in-depth examination of:* Simulation methodology, from experimental design to data analysisand more* Recent advances, such as object-oriented simulation, on-linesimulation, and parallel and distributed simulation* Applications across a full range of manufacturing and serviceindustries* Guidelines for successful simulations and sound simulationproject management* Simulation software and simulation industry vendors
