Summary
This book presents fundamental modeling tools, queueing theory, and discrete event simulation for evaluating computer-based systems. Assuming some familiarity with modeling concepts and Excel, the text is an excellent resource for those who need to learn the basics of discrete simulation and for those who wish to use discrete event simulation to model computer-based systems. The authors focus on practical applications, but also provide an overview of the required background theory.
