Network Modeling and Simulation is a practical guide to using modeling and simulation to solve real‎-life problems‎.‎ The authors give a comprehensive exposition of the core concepts in modeling and simulation‎,‎ and then systematically address the many practical considerations faced by developers in modeling complex large‎-scale systems‎.‎ The authors provide examples from computer and telecommunication networks and use these to illustrate the process of mapping generic simulation concepts to domain‎-specific problems in different industries and disciplines‎.‎ Key features‎:‎ Provides the tools and strategies needed to build simulation models from the ground up rather than providing solutions to specific problems‎.‎ Includes a new simulation tool‎,‎ CASiNO built by the authors‎.‎ Examines the core concepts of systems simulation and modeling‎.‎ Presents code examples to illustrate the implementation process of commonly encountered simulation tasks‎.‎ Offers examples of industry‎-standard modeling methodology that can be applied in steps to tackle any modeling problem in practice‎.‎
