The authors offer a concise look at the key concepts and techniques of modeling and simulation and then discuss how and why the presented domains have become leading applications. The book begins with an introduction of why modeling and simulation is a reliable analysis assessment tool for complex systems problems and then explains why the selected domains are drawn upon to proffer solutions for these problems"--cProvided by publisher.  aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2013.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries. 0aSystem analysisxMathematical modelsvHandbooks, manuals, etc. 0aComputer simulation. 7aElectronic books.2local1 aSokolowski, John A.,d1953-1 aBanks, Catherine M.,d1960-2 aebrary, Inc. 0aWiley handbooks in operations research and management science.40uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/rucke/Doc?id=10580204zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view  c187828d187828
