Theory of modeling and simulation : integrating discrete event and continuous complex dynamic systems

Zeigler, Bernard P.

Theory of modeling and simulation : integrating discrete event and continuous complex dynamic systems - New Delhi Harcourt India Private Limited 2000 - xxi, 510 pages: illustrations; 26 cm.

"Although twenty-five years have passed since the first edition of this classic text, the world has seen many advances in modeling and simulation, the need for a widely accepted framework and theoretical foundation is even more necessary today." "This book concentrates on integrating the continuous and discrete paradigms for modeling and simulation. A second major theme is that of distributed simulation and its potential to support the co-existence of multiple formalisms in multiple model components. Prominent throughout are the fundamental concepts of modular and hierarchical model composition. These key ideas underly a sound methodology for construction of complex system models." "This edition presents a rigorous mathematical foundation for modeling and simulation. Also, it now provides a comprehensive framework for integrating the various simulation approaches employed in practice."
