Applied System Simulation Methodologies and Applications

This book provides state-of-the-art treatment of methodologies and applications of system simulation related to all disciplines that range from toll-plaza systems for highways and bridges, traffic light control in city planning and engineering, design of transistors, VLSI chips, and computer systems and networks to the design and optimization of the operation of aerodynamic, air traffic control, and space shuttle systems. In a series of structured and focused chapters written by leading international experts from academia, industry and government, this volume presents the fundamentals of system simulation along with the latest research results and applications. Exclusive to this volume is coverage of: -Review of the fundamentals of system modeling and simulation; -Applications of modeling and simulation to wireless networks and systems; -Applications of modeling and simulation to computer systems and networks; -Applications of modeling and simulation to city and regional planning and engineering; -Applications of modeling and simulation to military systems; -Applications of modeling and simulation to aerospace engineering; -Simulation of Parallel and Distributed Computer Systems; -Simulation and modeling of ATM Systems and Networks; -Simulation of Satellite Systems; -Modeling and Simulation of Semiconductor Transceivers; -Simulation of Agent-Based Systems; -Simulation in Knowledge Based Systems; -Simulation of Manufacturing Systems; -Parallel and Distributed Simulation; -Verification, Validation, and Accreditation of Simulation Models. With its particular breadth and depth, Applied System Simulation is an ideal reference book for practitioners and researchers working in all areas of modeling and simulation. Given its cohesive structure, it would also serve as a textbook for graduate and senior undergraduate level courses on modeling and simulation for all disciplines.Obaidat, Mohammad S. is the author of 'Applied System Simulation Methodologies and Applications' with ISBN 9781402076039 and ISBN 1402076037.
