This book provides the practicing engineer with a concise listing of commercial and open-source modeling and simulation tools currently available including examples of implementing those tools for solving specific Modeling and Simulation examples. Instead of focusing on the underlying theory of Modeling and Simulation and fundamental building blocks for custom simulations, this book compares platforms used in practice, and gives rules enabling the practicing engineer to utilize available Modeling and Simulation tools. This book will contain insights regarding common pitfalls in network Modeling and Simulation and practical methods for working engineers.

"This book provides principles, guidelines, and thedo's and don'ts for practical use of the art ofmodeling and simulation. The authors have many years of experiencein the field and are insightful with their assessment of a veryimportant engineering discipline. The book can be used for guidanceand learning "best practices" on M&S as it coversvery broad areas in all key protocols layers of communications. Theauthors also pointed out many subtleties of M&S, which areeasily overlooked by many practitioners. This is a must-read bookfor program managers who make decisions about setting scope,considering tradeoffs, and defining metrics, before committing to aM&S project."
