Description
This volume is the only general introduction to computer simulation concepts with an emphasis on business applications. It introduces a broad range of general purpose programming languages, and the most popular special-purpose simulation packages. Also, recent developments in the latest microcomputer simulations are integrated throughout the text. This edition now provides coverage of SLAM, GEMS, Lotus 1-2-3, IFPS and includes expanded treatment of GPSS and expert systems. There are also simulation programs in BASIC, PASCAL and FORTRAN. The volume has been designed for students of management science, information systems, industrial engineering and computer science.
