For courses in simulation offered at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level in departments of industrial engineering or schools of business, this text provides a state-of-the-art treatment of all of the important aspects of a simulation study, including modelling, simulation software, validation, selecting input probability distributions, and output data analysis. The new edition includes the most up-to-date research developments and many more examples and problems.

Simulation Modeling and Analysis

Mcgraw-Hill (Tx)

Simulation Modeling and Analysis provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art, and technically correct treatment of all important aspects of a simulation study. The book strives to make this material understandable by the use of intuition and numerous figures, examples, and problems. It is equally well suited for use in university courses, simulation practice, and self-study. The book is widely regarded as the “bible” of simulation and now has more than 172,000 copies in print and has been cited more than 18,500 times. This textbook can serve as the primary text for a variety of courses. It is used in leading industrial and systems engineering departments at Georgia Tech, University of Michigan, University of California at Berkeley, Stanford University, Purdue University, Texas A&amp;M University, Columbia University, University of Washington, and Naval Postgraduate School.

McGraw=Hill

Comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage of every important simulation technique 
This fully-revised book has the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of all aspects of a simulation study. Equally well suited for use in university courses, simulation practice, and self-study, the book offers clear and intuitive explanations as well as 300 figures, 218 examples, and 217 problems. You will get detailed discussions on modeling and simulation, simulation software, model verification and validation, input modeling, random-number and variate generation, statistical design and analysis of simulation experiments, experimental design, simulation optimization, agent-based simulation, machine learning, and much more. 
Authored by an operations research analyst and industrial engineer with more than 40 years of experience, Simulation Modeling and Analysis is widely regarded as the “bible” of simulation and now has more than 178,000 copies in print and 23,700 citations. This sixth edition has been streamlined, with several chapters downsized to eliminate outdated simulation programs or statistical techniques that are rarely used in practice and are unnecessarily complicated. Most analyses of simulation output data can now be done using three simple and familiar statistical formulas or expressions. A new chapter covers AI and machine learning and their application to simulation. Covers what are arguably the three most-innovative and popular simulation-software packages: AnyLogic, FlexSim, and Simio Includes a set of instructor’s resources Has been used at universities such as University of California-Berkeley, Stanford, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Cornell, Purdue, Virginia Tech, Penn State, Wisconsin, Columbia, Texas A&M, Washington, and Johns Hopkins Written by a world-class expert in the field and an experienced educator who has presented more than 550 simulation and statistics short courses in 20 countries
