W. David Kelton Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

This fourth edition of Simulation with Arena aims to provide a comprehensive treatment of simulation concepts and the Arena simulation software. It begins with the development of simple, well-animated models and advances to complex modeling and analysis. The integration of statistical design and analysis with modeling chapters reflects the interconnected nature of these activities in effective simulation studies. The book adopts an informal, tutorial writing style to assist beginners in grasping the concepts presented. Included is a CD with the latest version of Arena academic software and relevant examples. The content covers simulation concepts, an overview of Arena, basic model development, input analysis, advanced modeling, and output analysis. It also addresses integrating Arena models with other applications, specialized statistical issues, continuous simulation, and conducting successful simulation studies. Primarily intended for a first course in simulation or self-study, the later chapters can be adapted for advanced courses. Building on the success of previous editions, this version retains the original outline and tutorial style while updating examples and exercises to align with the current Arena software. Additionally, a password-protected website for instructors offers downloadable lecture slides and solutions to exercises, leveraging the authors' extensive expertise in simulation and Arena development.
