Features: The third edition of this book is a textbook on Arena software, written by the developers of Arena software, making it the authoritative work on Arena software. Building on the successful guided writing style of the first and second editions, this book comprehensively elaborates on the general theory of simulation and introduces the use of simulation modeling software Arena through a carefully selected series of examples, aiming to help students use the Arena simulation system for practical simulation modeling, analysis, and project development. The book starts with the development of simple, highly animated high-level models and gradually progresses to advanced modeling and analysis. Statistical analysis is not discussed as a separate topic but is integrated into many modeling chapters, reflecting the relevance of statistical analysis to various activities in simulation research. The updates to the third edition include: comprehensive coverage of the new version of Arena software (Arena 7.01), enhanced support for Excel and Access, and revised examples to reflect the new version of the software.
