Zusatztext ? a comprehensive account of the various aspects of conceptual modeling. ? a very useful supplement to the traditional literature on simulation methods. The book will also be very useful to teachers and students. ? this book offers rich material for an adequate expansion of any simulation course ? Furthermore! it can be used in an autonomous course on modeling. ? Overall! the book is a comprehensive and useful review of the state of the art of conceptual modeling ideas! approaches! and applications. I recommend it to simulation practitioners! researchers! and teachers.-Computing Reviews! January 2011This volume collects different perspectives on modeling the dynamics of a system as a series of discrete events at which the state of the system changes. ? The contributors investigate the relationship between complexity and model performance! show how software engineering principles can be applied to conceptual modeling for discrete-event simulation! and address the importance of structuring the problem effectively. -SciTech Book News!
