About the Book

The use of discrete-event simulation in various fields, such as in industry, logistics and public health, has really taken off over the last few decades. The implementation of discrete-event simulation does however require an understanding, and perhaps even a mastery, of precise theoretical and methodological principles. Discrete-Event Simulation presents the key concepts involved in any discrete-event simulation project, covering the most frequently used techniques for analysing data and results, the methodological and practical aspects of implementing discrete-event simulation, along with an introduction to the use of the “Arena” discrete-event simulation tool. This book combines the elements presented with applied examples, as well as numerous examples of simulation projects in various fields.
