This authoritative, comprehensive and thoroughly revised text is designed for a one term or two quarter course in simulation taught at the senior or graduate level. It is offered in departments of industrial engineering, business, computer science and operations research. New features include an innovative chapter on simulation of manufacturing systems and an up-to-date treatment of simulation software and animation, with definitive coverage of model validation, input probability distribution and analysis of simulation output data.

Software

The first edition of this book was the first text to be written on the Arena software, which is a very popular simulation modeling software. What makes this text the authoritative source on Arena is that it was written by the creators of Arena themselves. 
The new third edition follows in the tradition of the successful first and second editions in its tutorial style (via a sequence of carefully crafted examples) and an accessible writing style. The updates include thorough coverage of the new version of the Arena software (Arena 7.01), enhanced support for Excel and Access, a new array editor, and updated examples to reflect the new version of software. 
The CD-ROM that accompanies the book contains the academic version of the recent Arena software. The software features new capabilities such as, model documentation, enhanced plots, file reading and writing, printing and animation symbols.

Sturrock, David

Simulation with Arena provides a comprehensive treatment of simulation using industry-standard Arena software. The text starts by having the reader develop simple high-level models, and then progresses to advanced modeling and analysis. Statistical design and analysis of simulation experiments is integrated with the modeling chapters, reflecting the importance of mathematical modeling of these activities. An informal, tutorial writing style is used to aid the beginner in fully understanding the ideas and topics presented. The academic version of Arena and example files are available through the book's website.
 Verified instructors can also download a 30-seat site license of Arena for use in their course.

McGraw-Hill's Connect, is also available as an optional, add on item. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and automatically grades and records the scores of the student's work. Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a "multi-step solution" which helps move the students' learning along if they experience difficulty.

A primary text in introductory and perhaps second courses in simulation at both the under-graduate and beginning-graduate levels. Such simulation courses are found in departments of industrial and systems engineering, most business schools, and many computer-science departments; simulation courses are also found in other engineering disciplines (mechanical, civil, electrical, chemical), mathe- matics, statistics, epidemiology, and agriculture. The text or components of it could also support a simulation module of a few weeks within a larger sur- vey course in programs without a stand-alone simulation course (e.g., MBA). It is written in an accessible tutorial-style writing approach centered around specific examples rather than general concepts, and covers a variety of appli-cations. Our experience has shown that these characteristics make the text easier to read and absorb, as well as appealing to students from many dfferent backgrounds.
