Through a practical applications approach, Discrete-Event Modeling and Simulation provides a guide to the creation of discrete-event applications. In addition to providing hundreds of online examples, this book uses the CD++ tool, an open-source framework that enables the simulation discrete-event models with specialized support for cellular models. It is a complete text that demonstrates how to use CD++ to define a variety of models in different areas, such as biology, chemistry, and several artificial systems, and to develop simulation models. |

| Publisher Description: Complex artificial dynamic systems require advanced modeling techniques that can accommodate their asynchronous, concurrent, and highly non-linear nature. Discrete Event systems Specification (DEVS) provides a formal framework for hierarchical construction of discrete-event models in a modular manner, allowing for model re-use and reduced development time. Discrete Event Modeling and Simulation presents a practical approach focused on the creation of discrete-event applications. The book introduces the CD++ tool, an open-source framework that enables the simulation of discrete-event models. After setting up the basic theory of DEVS and Cell-DEVS, the author focuses on how to use the CD++ tool to define a variety of models in biology, physics, chemistry, and artificial systems. They also demonstrate how to map different modeling techniques, such as Finite State Machines and VHDL, to DEVS. The in-depth coverage elaborates on the creation of simulation software for DEVS models and the 3D visualization environments associated with these tools. A much-needed practical approach to creating discrete-event applications, this book offers world-class instruction on the field's most useful modeling tools. |
