This book will be used as an introduction to the design and implementation ofsimulation software, as a reference for fundamental abstractions that are useful when building object-oriented simulation programs, and as a collection of specific algorithms for simulating dynamic systems. The book collects, in one place, the most important concepts and algorithms for building a simulator. The reader will learn five skills that are necessary for building simulations ofcomplicated systems: Fundamental abstractions for simulation dynamic systems.The essential notion of a state transition system is introduced and used to construct the basic elements of an object-oriented simulation framework. Basic simulation algorithms for continuous and discrete event simulations that are necessary for building a working simulation. How to combine continuous and discrete event simulations into a coherent whole. Strategies for testing a simulation. Theoretical foundations of the modeling constructs and simulation algorithms.James Nutaro, Research Staff, Oak Ridge National Laboratory has developed simulation software used by industrial, academic and research organizations including Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Intel, and several universities. He received his PhD in Computer Engineering from the University of Arizona in 2003 and haspublished articles on modeling and simulation in ACM and IEEE journals.
