The Java simulation handbook

Más información sobre el libro

The Java Simulation Handbook addresses key issues for successful simulation projects, focusing on the development of transparent and well-structured discrete event simulation models using UML 2 and Java. It introduces discrete event simulation from both modeling and programming perspectives, setting it apart from other texts that emphasize statistical methods. The book highlights DESMO-J, a powerful and freely available discrete event simulation tool developed at the University of Hamburg over several years. It includes comprehensive guides on using UML 2 and DESMO-J for designing and coding various examples, alongside targeted surveys of essential discrete event simulation methodologies. Contributions from specialists across different universities enrich the content, making it a well-rounded resource. Additionally, a companion website offers access to an electronic course management platform featuring the DESMO-J simulation framework, a web-based tutorial, and a laboratory with numerous program examples and educational Java applets. The intended audience includes computer science, information systems, management science, and engineering students with solid Java skills, as well as practitioners and IT professionals involved in simulation methods across various fields.
