Modeling and Simulation of Discrete Event Systems

This book provides a comprehensive, systematic treatment of discrete event systems modeling and simulation, covering the five major breakthrough areas in modeling over the past sixty years, and integrating these areas into engineering’s most widely used modeling and simulation systems. It explains how to analyze the results of simulations; provides examples from multiple application areas; and features review questions and problems.
