Summary
Computer simulation is an attempt to model a real-life orhypothetical situation on a computer so that it can be studied tosee how the system works. This book provides an excellent coverageon system modeling and simulation with the help of examples andapplications taken from diverse areas like computer systems, statistics, manufacturing and insurance. The book presents valuableguidelines on the materials required to build a simulation model, explains the process of evaluating results and helps to takedecisions based on the results. Apart from an in-depth discussionon Arena and its step-by-step approach to convert a problemstatement into an Arena simulation model, the book also brieflydiscusses a number of commercially available software on simulationlike GPSS, SIMSCRIPT and DYNAMO.
