Practical process simulation using object-oriented techniques and C [plus plus]

by José M. Garrido

Analysts, software engineers, and programmers faced with the challenge of developing medium to large complex systems will use this book to more efficiently design and test systems and alternative concepts. It helps novices as well as seasoned professionals better understand the construction and use of process simulation models using object-oriented modeling and programming. This book details both the fundamentals and implementation aspects of simulation modeling using C++. Rich in case studies, it provides valuable insight into the dynamic behavior of operating systems, computer networks, real-time systems, and other computer-related systems. To assist in conveying critical concepts and to illustrate specific examples, the author includes his recently developed simulation library, Psim, a portable simulation package of C++ classes on diskette.
