Reviews
... a comprehensive account of the various aspects of conceptual modeling. ... a very useful supplement to the traditional literature on simulation methods. The book will also be very useful to teachers and students. ... this book offers rich material for an adequate expansion of any simulation course ... Furthermore, it can be used in an autonomous course on modeling. ... Overall, the book is a comprehensive and useful review of the state of the art of conceptual modeling ideas, approaches, and applications. I recommend it to simulation practitioners, researchers, and teachers. -Computing Reviews, January 2011 This volume collects different perspectives on modeling the dynamics of a system as a series of discrete events at which the state of the system changes. ... The contributors investigate the relationship between complexity and model performance, show how software engineering principles can be applied to conceptual modeling for discrete-event simulation, and address the importance of structuring the problem effectively. -SciTech Book News, February 2011
