Simulation-Based Engineering of Complex Systems, 2/e (Hardcover)

A hands-on approach to understanding, designing, analyzing, and evaluating complex systems

During the last few years, Simulation-Based Systems Engineering (SBSE) has become an essential tool for the design and evaluation of complex systems. This is the first book to cover the basic principles of complex systems through the use of hands-on experimentation using an icon-based simulation tool.

Utilizing the accompanying software tool ExtendSim, which works with the OpEMCSS library, readers are invited to engage in simulation-based

experiments that demonstrate the principles of complex systems with an

emphasis on design, analysis, and evaluation. A number of real-world examples are included to demonstrate how to model complex systems across a range of engineering, business, societal, economic, and scientific disciplines.

Beginning with an introduction to SBSE, the book covers:

• Simulation concepts and building blocks

• Systems design and model development

• Markov model development

• Reliability processes

• Queuing theory in SBSE

• Rule-based learning and adaptation

• Agent motion and spatial interactions

• Multi-agent system of systems

Assuming only a very basic background in problem-solving ability, this book is ideal as a textbook for students (a homework solution manual is also available) and as a reference book for practitioners in industry.

一種深入了解、設計、分析和評估複雜系統的實踐方法

在過去幾年中，基於模擬的系統工程（SBSE）已成為設計和評估複雜系統的重要工具。這是第一本通過使用基於圖標的模擬工具進行實踐實驗來介紹複雜系統基本原理的書籍。

利用附帶的ExtendSim軟件工具，該工具與OpEMCSS庫一起工作，讀者被邀請參與基於模擬的實驗，以展示複雜系統的設計、分析和評估原則。書中包含了一些真實世界的例子，以展示如何在工程、商業、社會、經濟和科學等各個領域建模複雜系統。

從介紹SBSE開始，本書涵蓋了以下內容：
- 模擬概念和構建模塊
- 系統設計和模型開發
- 馬可夫模型開發
- 可靠性過程
- SBSE中的排隊理論
- 基於規則的學習和適應
- 代理移動和空間交互作用
- 多代理系統

本書假設讀者只具備非常基本的解決問題能力，非常適合作為學生的教科書（還提供了作業解答手冊），也適合作為業界從業人員的參考書。
