manner: * 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, 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(r), ACE(r), and Arena(r) * 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.
