New From the Author of the Most Popular Simulation Book Ever Published! In 1974, Tom Schribers Simulation Using GPSS arrived on the scene, and quickly became one of the most popular simulation books ever published. Known as the Red Book, this landmark work set new standards in the field of simulation. You are now holding Tom Schribers ground-breaking new book, one that is sure to become the classic for the 90s: An Introduction to Simulation Using GPSS/H This exciting new book provides a concise overview of simulation, and a comprehensive introduction to the popular and powerful GPSS/H language. The unusually complete package includes a student version of GPSS/H for DOS. This software is a limited version of Wolverine Software Corporations industry standard GPSS/H 2. 0. Throughout the book, Schriber develops his topics in the same careful and meticulously complete way that users of the Red Book have praised over and over. If you're interested in learning about simulation using GPSS/H, or you need the best text you can find for classroom training, there is no better package available today!

Schriber, Thomas Jude was born on October 28, 1935 in Flint, Michigan, United States. Son of Francis Charles and Alma Marie (Jeannot) Schriber.
Born in Flint, Michigan, Schriber obtained his Mississippi at the University of Notre Dame in 1957, and then moved to the University of Michigan, where he obtained in Microsoft Security Essentials in 1958, his Master of Arts in 1959, and his Doctor of Philosophy in 1964.
He is particularly known for his work on "Simulation using General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS)." Schriber started his academic career at the Eastern Michigan University in 1963 as Assistant Professor and also became Director of its Academic Computer Center. In 1966 he moved to the University of Michigan, where he was appointed Assistant Professor. In 1969 he became Associate Professor, in 1972 Professor of Business Information Technology.
He was Visiting Scholar at the Stanford University in 1972-1973, at the Swiss Federal Technical University in 1995, and at the National University of Singapore in 1995.
They"ve been married since 1967 and have three kids: Sarah Schriber of Oak Park, Il, John Schriber of Louisville, Kentucky, and Maria Schriber of Los Angeles, California. Simulation encompasses a broad set of activities, including the design and implementation of modeling languages. The verification and validation of models.
The visualization of systems through the animation of models. The analysis of input (data) to simulation models.
Statistical design of experiments.
Statistical analysis of output. The education of simulation modelers and simulation consumers. And the effective “selling” of simulation results to high-level decision makers.
Within this broad arena, some of my activities include or have included: the logical foundations of simulation software.
The implementation of variance-reduction techniques in the design of models. Simulation applications in the design and control of manufacturing and transportation systems
Automation of output analysis. Automatic model generation.
The writing of simulation textbooks.
And the use of Web-based tools in simulation education. Simulation can be used "to design complex systems that are not amenable to mathematical analysis, such as manufacturing systems, logistics systems, and information systems" Schriber, Schriber, Schriber, Schriber,, Daniel T.
