This comprehensive text/reference presents cutting-edge advances in the
theory and methodology of modeling and simulation (M&S), and reveals how
this work has been influenced by the fundamental contributions of
Professor Tuncer Ören to this field.
Exploring the synergies among the domains of M&S and systems engineering
(SE), the book describes how M&S and SE can help to address the complex
problems identified as "Grand Challenges" more effectively under a
model-driven and simulation-directed systems engineering framework.
Topics and features: examines frameworks for the development of advanced
simulation methodologies; presents a focus on advanced modeling
methodologies; reviews the reliability and quality assurance of models;
discusses the specification and simulation of human and social behavior,
including models of personality, emotions, conflict management,
perception, and anticipation; provides a literature survey of the body
of knowledge in M&S; highlights the conceptual, theoretical, and
methodological foundations established by the pioneering work of
Professor Tuncer Ören.
This authoritative volume offers inspiring and illuminating insights of
benefit to all researchers, practitioners and graduate students in M&S,
especially those interested in modeling complexity and simulating
complex adaptive systems, and other Grand Challenges.
