    Modern Statistical, Systems, and GPSS Simulation, Second Edition introduces the theory and implementation of discrete-event simulation. This text:

  • establishes a theoretical basis for simulation methodology
  • provides details of an important simulation language (GPSS - General Purpose Simulation System)
  • integrates these two elements in a systems simulation case study
    Valuable additions to the second edition include coverage of random number generators with astronomic period, new entropy-based tests of uniformity, gamma variate generation, results on the GLD, and variance reduction techniques.
    GPSS/PC is an interactive implementation of GPSS for the IBM-PC compatible family of microcomputers. The disk accompanying Modern Statistical, Systems, and GPSS Simulation contains the limited educational version of GPSS/PC with many illustrative examples discussed in the text.
  • Discrete Event Computer Simulation. Introduction to GPSS. Random Number Generation and Testing. Random Variable Generation. Intermediate GPSS. Statistical Design and Analysis of Simulations. Advanced GPSS Features. Case Study of a Simulation: Design, Analysis, and Programming. Appendices. References.
