Annotation: This book provides state-of-the-art treatment of methodologies and applications of system simulation related to all disciplines that range from toll-plaza systems for highways and bridges, traffic light control in city planning and engineering, design of transistors, VLSI chips, and computer systems and networks to the design and optimization of the operation of aerodynamic, air traffic control, and space shuttle systems. In a series of structured and focused chapters written by leading international experts from academia, industry and government, this volume presents the fundamentals of system simulation along with the latest research results and applications. Exclusive to this volume is coverage of:

-Review of the fundamentals of system modeling and simulation;
-Applications of modeling and simulation to wireless networks and systems;
-Applications of modeling and simulation to computer systems and networks;
-Applications of modeling and simulation to city and regional planning and engineering;
-Applications of modeling and simulation to military systems;
-Applications of modeling and simulation to aerospace engineering;
-Simulation of Parallel and Distributed Computer Systems;
-Simulation and modeling of ATM Systems and Networks;
-Simulation of Satellite Systems;
-Modeling and Simulation of Semiconductor Transceivers;
-Simulation of Agent-Based Systems;
-Simulation in Knowledge Based Systems;
-Simulation of Manufacturing Systems;
-Parallel and Distributed Simulation;
-Verification, Validation, and Accreditation of Simulation Models. With its particular breadth and depth, Applied System Simulation is an ideal reference bookfor practitioners and researchers working in all areas of modeling and simulation. Given its cohesive structure, it would also serve as a textbook for graduate and senior undergraduate level courses on modeling and simulation for all disciplines.

Publisher Description:
Simulation and molding are efficient techniques that can aid the city and regional planners and engineers in optimizing the operation of urban systems such as traffic light control, highway toll automation, consensus building, public safety, and environmental protection. When modeling transportation systems such as freeway systems, arterial or downtown grid systems, the city planner and engineer is concerned with capturing the varied interactions between drivers, automobiles, and the infrastructure. Modeling and simulation are used to effectively optimize the design and operation of all of these urban systems. It is possible that in an urban simulation community workshop, citizens can work interactively in front of computers and be able using the click of the mouse to walk up to their own front porch, looking at the proposed shopping mall alternatives across the street from virtually any angle and proposed bridge or tunnel and see how it can reduce traffic congestion. Buildings can be scaled down or taken out, their orientation can be changed in order to check the view and orientation in order to have better site with efficient energy-conservation. The stone or brick material on a building can be replaced by colored concrete, or more trees and lampposts can be placed on the site. Such flexibility in simulation and animation allows creative ideas in the design and orientation of urban sites to be demonstrated to citizens and decision makers before final realization.
