Simulation Modelling With Pascal

Simulation Modelling with Pascal

Simulation Modelling

This text covers discrete event digital simulation modelling on a computer. Chapters One to Five describe the basis for any course on which the book might be used - that is, how to formulate the problem and develop a computer program using the extended Lancaster Simulation Environment (eLSE). Chapter Six describes an interactive simulation program generator that has been written to produce a program based on eLSE. Chapters Seven to Twelve describe more general topics essential to the business of problem solving by simulation modelling or that support the technical aspects. Chapter 13 discusses other modelling approaches to demonstrate that the authors are not unwisely biased in advocating the three phase method. Chapter 14 describes the current research activity of the Computer Aided Simulation Modelling project (CASM) at the LSE.

Modelling for Added Value

This book gathers together research from three key application themes of modelling in operational research - modelling to support evaluation and change in organisations; modelling within the development and use of organisational information systems; and the use of modelling approaches to support, enable and enhance decision support in organisational contexts. The issues raised provide valuable insight into the range of ways in which operational research techniques and practices are being successfully applied in today's information-centred business world. Modelling for Added Value provides a window onto current research and practise in modelling techniques and highlights their rising importance across the business, industrial and commercial sectors. The book contains contributions from a mix of academics and practitioners and covers a range of complex and diverse modelling issues, highlighting the broad appeal of this increasingly important subject area.
