Simulation Model Design and Execution: Building Digital Worlds by Paul Fishwick
Appropriate for courses in Simulation Model Design and Execution in IE and CS.
Fishwick offers the first text to cover all three areas of simulation-Model Design, Model Execution, and Execution Analysis-in one source. He focuses on model design (using an extension of object- oriented design called multimodeling) and algorithms for serial and parallel model execution. Also covered is the SimPack simulation toolkit, with a full chapter devoted to using SimPack programs.
