Discrete-Event Modeling and Simulation - 9781420053364

CRC Press

In recent years, numerous modeling techniques have been introduced to improve the definition and analysis of complex dynamic systems. Through a practical applications approach, this work provides a guide to the creation of discrete-event applications. In addition to providing hundreds of online examples, this book uses the CD++ tool, an open-source framework that enables the simulation of discrete-event models with specialized support for cellular models. It is a complete text that demonstrates how to use CD++ to develop simulation models and define a variety of uses in different areas, such as biology and chemistry, as well as several artificial systems. > \nComplex artificial dynamic systems require advanced modeling techniques that can accommodate their asynchronous, concurrent, and highly non-linear nature. Discrete Event systems Specification (DEVS) provides a formal framework for hierarchical construction of discrete-event models in a modular manner, allowing for model re-us.
