"This book offers a concise introduction to the art of building simulation software. It clearly demonstrates the five skills necessary for building simulations of complicated systems: abstractions for simulation dynamic systems
basic simulation algorithms for continuous and discrete event simulations
combining continuous and discrete event simulations into a coherent whole
strategies for testing a simulation
and theoretical foundations of the modeling constructs and simulation algorithms. This is indispensable reading for software programmers, developers, and engineers, and students in related courses" -- Provided by publisher. "This book will be used as an introduction to the design and implementation of simulation software, as a reference for fundamental abstractions that are useful when building object-oriented simulation programs, and as a collection of specific algorithms for simulating dynamic systems"-- Provided by publisher.
