Publisher's Synopsis
This text aims to bring together the techniques of advanced software engineering snd simulation modelling in a guide for students and professionals confronted with the need to master modelling techniques which meet the challenges inherent in the design and utilization of complex systems.;The book offers an introduction to simulation modelling and state-of-the-art object model concepts. It illustrates a modelling method adapted to simulation and shows how this can be translated to industrial and research applications. The method presented (M2PO) utilizes the most used graphical notations and is based on the synthesis of existing OOA and OOD techniques applicable to simulation.;The accompanying disk contains an animation builder program.
