This fifth edition of ‘Simulation with Arena has the same goal as the first four editions: to provide a comprehensive treatment of simulation concepts in general and the Arena simulation software in particular. It starts by having the reader develop simple, well animated, high level models and then progresses to advanced modeling and analysis. Statistical design and analysis of simulation experiments are integrated with the modeling, reflecting the joint nature of these activities in good simulation studies. The objective is to help the reader carry out effective simulation modeling, analysis, and projects using the Arena simulation system. An informal, tutorial writing style is used. Included are instructions to download the current version of the Arena student software and the examples used throughout the text.
Starting with an introduction to simulations concepts, the book progresses through an overview of the Arena software, basic model developments, input analysis, additional modeling constructs, output analysis, and advanced modeling. It also includes chapters on integrating Arena simulation models with other applications, specialized statistical issues, continuous simulation, and conducting a successful simulation study. It is intended primarily to be a text in a first course on simulation or for self study. However, the later chapters could be incorporated into a second or graduate level course.
Building on the success of the first four editions, published in 1998, 2002, 2004, and 2007, this edition retains the basic outline and tutorial style, built around a sequence of successively more complicated examples. All examples and discussion have been modified and updated for the current version of the Arena software, and additional examples have been developed, along with more exercises. As before, a restricted access web site for instructors who are requiring the book for a college or university class provides support in terms of downloadable lecture slides and solutions to end of chapter exercises.
