Abstract :
Simulation is experimentation with a model. The behavior of the model imitates some salient aspect of the behavior of the system under study and the user experiments with the model to infer this behavior. This general framework has proven a powerful adjunct to learning, problem solving, and design. In this tutorial, we focus principally on discrete-event simulation-its underlying concepts, structure, and application.
