Simulation in brief -- 1. Simulation analysis and decision making -- 2. Elements of simulation analysis -- ii. Modeling and simulation -- 3. Developing simulation models -- 4. Simulation languages for modeling -- 5. Analytic models and simulation -- iii. Building and validating simulation models -- 6. Data collection and analysis -- 7. Random numbers and random variate generation -- 8. Model verification and validation -- iv. Using simulation models -- 9. Output analysis -- 10. Model experimentation and optimization -- 11. Implementation of simulation results N2 - 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 ER -
