| Contents Notes | 1. Introduction -- 2. Foundations -- 3. Conceptual Modeling -- 4. Declarative Modeling -- 5. Functional Modeling -- 6. Constraint Modeling -- 7. Spatial Modeling -- 8. Multimodeling -- 9. Parallel and Distributed Simulation -- 10. SimPack Toolkit. The author offers the first text to cover all three areas of simulation-Model Design, Model Execution, and Execution Analysis-in one source. He focuses on model design (using an extension of object- oriented design called multimodeling) and algorithms for serial and parallel model execution. Also covered is the SimPack simulation toolkit, with a full chapter devoted to using SimPack programs. |
