Defining simulation : what, why and when? -- Inside simulation software -- Software for simulation -- Simulation studies : an overview -- Conceptual modelling -- Developing the conceptual model -- Data collection and analysis -- Model coding -- Experimentation : obtaining accurate results -- Experimentation : searching the solution space -- Implementation -- Verification, validation and confidence -- The practice of simulation.
Simulation modelling involves the development of models that imitate real-world operations, and statistical analysis of their performance with a view to improving efficiency and effectiveness. This non-technical textbook is focused towards the needs of business, engineering, and computer science students.
