Discrete Event System Simulation 4th Edition  (English, Paperback, Banks Jerry)

Discrete Event System Simulation is a textbook written for those students who need to understand the basics of the discrete-event simulation. The book has been authored by six authors, namely Banks Jerry, John S. Carson, Barry L. Nelson, David M. Nicol, Saumil Shah, and P. Shahabudeen. It presents a detailed description of the discrete event system simulation. This textbook covers the analysis of data and proper collection, verification and validation of models, and use of the analytic techniques. The designing simulation experiments have also been discussed here. With this book, the authors provide updated information on the treatment of simulation of computer systems, computer networks, and manufacturing and material handling systems.This fourth edition of the book covers updated content on non-stationary processes, negative binomial distribution, and simulation beta distribution. This edition also provides information on the methods used for output analysis of various alternatives, called the subset selection methods. Various solved examples have been provided to enhance the understanding of the concepts discussed. Also, the application topics comprised in the book have been chosen to help students understand the real-world uses. To develop realistic and valid models, the authors also discuss simple tools used for complex input modeling problems.
