It covers the modelling methods, computing and statistical requirements for successful simulation and includes:
- a new chapter on Monte Carlo simulation using spreadsheets
- a new look inside discrete simulation software
- simulation models in Visual Basic, SIMUL8 and Micro Saint
- system dynamics using Powersim
