What is simulation? A. Simulation is the exploitation of a model in order to predict logical consequences of hypothetical situations. Q. What is this book, System Modeling and Simulation: An Introduction? A. This book is a uniquely broad and quantitative introduction to creating models, performing simulations and analyzing results in a systematic and rigorous way. It covers the technical breadth of system modeling by including: continuous-time, sampled-time and discrete-time models temporal, spatial and hybrid models continuous-state and discrete-state models deterministic and stochastic models both system and signal modeling It explores the generality of system modeling by considering a myriad of physical, biological and engineered examples. Each example is...
