Provides a comprehensive, systematic treatment of discrete-event systems modeling and simulation along with the major breakthroughs of the last 60 years

Computer modeling and simulation (M&S) allows engineers to study and analyze complex systems. Discrete-event system (DES)-M&S is used in modern management, industrial engineering, computer science, and the military. As computer speeds and memory capacity increase, so DES-M&S tools become more powerful and more widely used in solving real-life problems.

Based on over 20 years of evolution within a classroom environment as well as on decades-long experience in developing simulation-based solutions for high-tech industries, Modeling and Simulation of Discrete-Event Systems is the only book on DES-M&S in which all the major DES modeling formalisms – activity-based, process-oriented, state-based, and event-based – are covered in a unified manner.
Providing fundamental theories, modern methodologies, and practices of DES-M&S in and easy-to-understand way, Modeling and Simulation of Discrete-Event Systems offers:

•A well-defined procedure for building a formal model in the form of event graph, ACD, or state graph

•Diverse types of modeling templates and examples that can be used as building blocks for a complex real-life model

•A systematic and easy-to-follow procedure combined with sample C# codes for developing simulators in various modeling formalisms

•Simple tutorials as well as sample model files for using popular off-the-shelf simulators such as SIGMA®, ACE®, and Arena®.

•Up-to-date research results as well as research issues and directions in DES-M&S

Modeling and Simulation of Discrete-Event Systems is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students of simulation/industrial engineering and computer science as well as for simulation practitioners and researchers.
