This text provides state-of-the-art treatment of methodologies and applications of system simulation related to all disciplines that range from toll-plaza systems for highways and bridges, traffic light control in city planning and engineering, design of transistors, VLSI chips and computer systems and networks to the design and optimization of the operation of aerodynamic, air traffic control and space shuttle systems. In a series of structured and focused chapters written by international experts from academia, industry and government, the volume presents the fundamentals of system simulation along with the latest research results and applications. With its particular breadth and depth, "Applied System Simulation" is a useful reference work for practitioners and researchers working in all areas of modelling and simulation. Given its cohesive structure, it would also serve as a textbook for graduate and senior undergraduate level courses on modelling and simulation for all disciplines.
