Simulation: The Practice of Model Development and Use describes the steps involved in a simulation study, drawing together both the theoretical and the practical perspectives. Having introduced the concept of simulation, specific topics covered include:
- How a simulation works
- Selecting simulation software
- Designing an appropriate conceptual model
- Developing the computer based model
- Experimenting with the simulation
- Implementation
- Verifying and validating the simulation
- Simulation in practice
Two case study examples illustrate the principles that are described. Simulation modellers need to apply these principles whatever the software they are using for developing models.
