Modeling & Simulation Resources

The enormous potential of digital computation to manage new complex systems is impeded by exponential increases in complexity. The model's dimensionality increases from hundreds to thousands of variables, therefore, it is necessary have sub-models constructed by diverse technical teams to be integrated into the total computer simulation model. This site presents access to the recent advances in computer simulation for decision making that is of interest to researchers and graduate students across a number of academic domains.

I always welcome information regarding any further references for inclusion. You may like to contact me by sending me an email your comments/suggestions or corrections for improvement. Thank you.

Performance analysis seeks to discover the information bottlenecks in a computer system, and allows the system designer to create an optimal system for a specific need. This book presents a self-contained and complete presentation of the theory and application of computer performance evaluation based on queueing theory and Markov chains. After beginning with basic probability theory, Queueing Networks and Markov Chains proceeds to the more complicated topics of queueing networks and Markov chains, using applications and examples to illustrate key points.
