Theory of Modeling and Simulation: Discrete Event and Iterative System Computational Foundations

Theory of Modeling and Simulation 3e: DEVS-Centered Foundations follows its predecessor in providing an authoritative and complete theoretical solution for graduate and PhD students and working engineers interested in posing and solving problems using the tools of logico-mathematical modeling and computer simulation. Continuing to emphasize the integration of discrete event and continuous modeling approaches, the work focuses light on DEVS and its potential to support the co-existence and interoperation of multiple formalisms in model components. The third edition focuses on important new extensions to the theory since the second edition published in 2000, including chapter-length coverage of: Iterative System Specification and DEVS: fundamental importance, closure under coupling for iteratively specified systems, existence, uniqueness, and non-deterministic conditions, temporal progressiveness (legitimacy), permeates the discussion throughout the book.System Classes and Morphisms and Abstraction: hierarchy of system specifications, associated morphisms, mappings between classes, approximate morphisms, lumpability zone characterization.Dynamic Structure DEVS: distributed simulation, dynamic coupling, agent-based modeling, implications for computational emergence.Quantized State Systems: Quantization-based simulation of continuous time systems, DEVS representation, higher order quantization, linearly implicit algorithms, activity measures, speed-accuracy tradeoffs.Stochastic DEVS:  Probability spaces, legitimacy of stochastic models, formalism extensions and their properties (coupling of deterministic DEVS and DEVS Markov models, closure under coupling issues.)Hybrid Modeling and Co-Simulation: How DEV&DESS (Discrete Event & Differential Equation System Specification) and Stochastic DEVS, within a new hybrid iterative specification, support simulation within the DEVS simulation protocol.Neural Computation Domain as an illustration of DEVS-Centered M&SOpen research questions: especially for research-oriented professors and students, what are the burning questions whose answers will significantly advance theory and practice and implications for computational emergence 40% revised and expanded new edition of the classic book with many important post-2000 extensions to core theoryProvides a streamlined introduction to Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) formalism for modeling and simulationPackages all need-to-know information on DEVS formalism in one place for busy students and engineersExpanded to include an online ancillary package including numerous examples of theory and implementation in DEVS-based software, student solutions and instructors manual INDICE: Part I: Basics 1.
