Features: Modeling and simulation are the main contents of modern scientific and technological research, and their technology has permeated into various disciplines and engineering fields. Based on general systems theory, this book introduces a general theoretical framework and methods for modeling and simulation applicable to any field. The main content is divided into three parts: First is modeling theory, which introduces modeling methodology, model simplification, and general systems theory of modeling; second is the basic methods of simulation, which introduces the generation of random numbers, simulation of discrete-time and continuous-time models, discrete event models and their simulation strategies and system simulation result analysis; third is the cutting-edge of modeling and simulation disciplines, such as agent-based modeling methods and Swarm simulation, Petri nets as modeling tools for discrete event systems, and distributed modeling and simulation.
