(Wiley Series in Operations Research and Management Science) 1st Edition
by Sally Brailsford (Editor), Leonid Churilov (Editor), Brian Dangerfield (Editor)
In recent years, there has been a
growing debate, particularly in the UK and Europe, over the merits of
using discrete-event simulation (DES) and system dynamics (SD); there
are now instances where both methodologies were employed on the same
problem. This book details each method, comparing each in terms of both
theory and their application to various problem situations. It also
provides a seamless treatment of various topics--theory, philosophy,
detailed mechanics, practical implementation--providing a systematic
treatment of the methodologies of DES and SD, which previously have been
treated separately.
