This book provides a basic treatment of discrete-event simulation, including the proper collection and analysis of data, the use of analytic techniques, verification and validation of models, and designing simulation experiments. It offers an up-to-date treatment of simulation of manufacturing and material handling systems, computer systems, and computer networks. Salient Features Simulation of communications systems—Includes new material on simulation beta distribution, negative binomial distribution and non-stationary processes. Discussion of subset selection methods—New to this edition, these methods are used for output analysis of several alternatives. Numerous solved examples—Enhances understanding of concepts. Application topics—Promotes understanding of real-world uses. Discussion of simple tools for complex input modeling problems—Develops more realistic and valid models.
