Modern Statistical, Systems, and GPSS Simulation PDF

Modern Statistical, Systems, and GPSS Simulation, Second Edition introduces the theory and implementation of discrete-event simulation. This text:

•establishes a theoretical basis for simulation methodology

•provides details of an important simulation language (GPSS - General Purpose Simulation System)

•integrates these two elements in a systems simulation case study

Valuable additions to the second edition include coverage of random number generators with astronomic period, new entropy-based tests of uniformity, gamma variate generation, results on the GLD, and variance reduction techniques.

GPSS/PC is an interactive implementation of GPSS for the IBM-PC compatible family of microcomputers. The disk accompanying Modern Statistical, Systems, and GPSS Simulation contains the limited educational version of GPSS/PC with many illustrative examples discussed in the text.
