Explores wide-ranging applications of modeling and simulation
techniques that allow readers to conduct research and ask "What
if??" Principles of Modeling and Simulation: A Multidisciplinary
Approach is the first book to provide an introduction to modeling
and simulation techniques across diverse areas of study. Numerous
researchers from the fields of social science, engineering,
computer science, and business have collaborated on this work to
explore the multifaceted uses of computational modeling while
illustrating their applications in common spreadsheets. The book is
organized into three succinct parts: Principles of Modeling and
Simulation provides a brief history of modeling and simulation,
outlines its many functions, and explores the advantages and
disadvantages of using models in problem solving. Two major reasons
to employ modeling and simulation are illustrated through the study
of a specific problem in conjunction with the use of related
applications, thus gaining insight into complex concepts.
Theoretical Underpinnings examines various modeling techniques and
introduces readers to two significant simulation concepts: discrete
event simulation and simulation of continuous systems. This section
details the two primary methods in which humans interface with
simulations, and it also distinguishes the meaning, importance, and
significance of verification and validation. Practical Domains
delves into specific topics related to transportation, business,
medicine, social science, and enterprise decision support. The
challenges of modeling and simulation are discussed, along with
advanced applied principles of modeling and simulation such as
representation techniques, integration into the application
infrastructure, and emerging technologies. With its accessible
style and wealth of real-world examples, Principles of Modeling and
Simulation: A Multidisciplinary Approach is a valuable book for
modeling and simulation courses at the upper-undergraduate and
graduate levels. It is also an indispensable reference for
researchers and practitioners working in statistics, mathematics,
engineering, computer science, economics, and the social sciences
who would like to further develop their understanding and knowledge
of the field.
