From the Publisher:
Mike Pidd updates this new edition to focus more attention on system dynamics as a result of increasing interest in this area. Other revisions include an increase in the number of exercises at the end of each chapter, an expansion of the area of the book covering visual interactive modeling systems, strengthening of statistical aspects of the text, and a general overhaul of the original material to bring the references and general tone up to date.read more

Traffic modeling for telecommunications networks
Victor S. Frost,Benjamin Melamed +1 more
TL;DR: An overview of discrete event simulation is given and two important modelling issues that are germane to extant and emerging networks: traffic modelling and rare event simulation are singled out.

Dynamics of bed use in accommodating emergency admissions: stochastic simulation model
TL;DR: There are limits to the occupancy rates that can be achieved safely without considerable risk to patients and to the efficient delivery of emergency care, and spare bed capacity is therefore essential for the effective management of emergency admissions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conceptual modelling for simulation Part I: definition and requirements
TL;DR: The meaning of conceptual modelling and the requirements of a conceptual model are discussed, and a conceptual modelling framework is proposed due to a paucity of advice on how to design a conceptual models.
