Beschreibung
Simulation is the art of using tools - physical or conceptualmodels, or computer hardware and software, to attempt to create theillusion of reality. The discipline has in recent years expanded toinclude the modelling of systems that rely on human factors andtherefore possess a large proportion of uncertainty, such associal, economic or commercial systems. These new applications makethe discipline of modelling and simulation a field of dynamicgrowth and new research.
Stanislaw Raczynski outlines the considerable and promisingresearch that is being conducted to counter the problems ofuncertainty surrounding the methods used to approach these newapplications. It aims to stimulate the reader into seeking out newtools for modelling and simulation.
* Examines the state-of-the-art in recent research into methodsof approaching new applications in the field of modelling andsimulation
* Provides an introduction to new modelling tools such asdifferential inclusions, metric structures in the space of models,semi-discrete events, and use of simulation in paralleloptimization techniques
* Discusses recently developed practical applications: forexample the PASION simulation system, stock market simulation, anew fluid dynamics tool, manufacturing simulation and thesimulation of social structures
* Illustrated throughout with a series of case studies
Modelling and Simulation: The Computer Science ofIllusion will appeal to academics, postgraduate students,researchers and practitioners in the modelling and simulation ofindustrial computer systems. It will also be of interest to thoseusing simulation as an auxiliary tool.
