Introduces various modeling and simulation methods and paradigms that
are used to explain and solve the predominant challenges facing
society
Handbook of Real-World Applications in Modeling and Simulation provides
a thorough explanation of modeling and simulation in the most useful,
current, and predominant applied areas of transportation, homeland
security, medicine, operational research, military science, and business
modeling. Offering a cutting-edge and accessible presentation, this book
discusses how and why the presented domains have become leading
applications of modeling and simulation techniques.
Contributions from leading academics and researchers integrate modeling
and simulation theories, methods, and data to analyze challenges that
involve technological and social issues. The book begins with an
introduction that explains why modeling and simulation is a reliable
analysis assessment tool for complex systems problems. Subsequent
chapters provide an orientation to various modeling and simulation
methods and paradigms that are used to explain and solve the predominant
challenges across real-world applied domains. Additionally, the
handbook:
-
Provides a practical one-stop reference on modeling and simulation and
contains an accessible introduction to key concepts and techniques
-
Introduces, trains, and prepares readers from statistics, mathematics,
engineering, computer science, economics, and business to use modeling
and simulation in their studies and research
-
Features case studies that are representative of fundamental areas of
multidisciplinary studies and provides a concise look at the key
concepts of modeling and simulation
-
Contains a collection of original ideas on modeling and simulation to
help academics and practitioners develop a multifunctional perspective
Self-contained chapters offer a comprehensive approach to explaining
each respective domain and include sections that explore the related
history, theory, modeling paradigms, and case studies. Key terms and
techniques are clearly outlined, and exercise sets allow readers to test
their comprehension of the presented material.
Handbook of Real-World Applications in Modeling and Simulation is an
essential reference for academics and practitioners in the areas of
operations research, business, management science, engineering,
statistics, mathematics, and computer science. The handbook is also a
suitable supplement for courses on modeling and simulation at the
graduate level.
