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.

This text integrates coverage of both the theory and the implementation of discrete-event simulation. Neither is stressed to the exclusion of the other. This book allows the reader to integrate theory and computer implementation or concentrate on either. "Modern Statistical Systems, and GPSS Simulation" offers a conceptual basis for simulation in any language. It includes the most important elements for design and analysis of a simulation and supplies the basis for a course on GPSS simulation language. The book also illustrates how to incorporate the best - random number generators with run - length choices and output analysis methods.
