<br/><br/> This is a comprehensive, well-organized, methodical, and self- contained treatment of simulation. The authors feature a problem-solving approach with a step-by-step description of simulation analysis. The text’s emphasis is on both the art and the science of simulation modeling, with the primary focus on simulation as a decision-making tool.
