Discrete-Event System Simulation by Jerry Banks

Discrete-Event System Simulation by Jerry Banks

Appropriate for junior- senior-level Simulation courses in departments of Engineering, Management and Computer Science; or a second course in Simulation. This text provides a basic treatment of discrete-event simulation, one of the most widely used operations research and management science tools for dealing with system design in the presence of uncertainty. Proper collection and analysis of data, use of analytic techniques, verification and validation of models and the appropriate design of simulation experiments are treated extensively. Readily understandable to those having a basic familiarity with differential and integral calculus, probability theory and elementary statistics. The Third Edition reorganizes, updates and expands coverage to reflect the most recent developments in software and methodology, and adds a chapter on the simulation of computer systems.

About the Authors JERRY BANKS, professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech is the lead author. Dr. Banks is the author or co-author of many texts in simulation and other areas. Prominent in the simulation community, he served for eight years as the IIE representative to the board of the Winter Simulation Conference, and two years as Chair of that body. He has been very active in simulation consulting. His co-authors are Barry Burnette, Henry Kozloski, and Jimmy Rose. They are recent recipients of Master's Degrees in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Georgia Tech and have been influential in writing the book from the perspective of the student.
