ExtendSim for Discrete-Event System Simulation
eTextbook; includes ExtendSim LT

The standard in discrete event simulation software is now
combined with the standard in undergraduate simulation textbooks!

Adhering to the layout of Discrete-Event System Simulation ("DESS") by Banks, et al., the new textbook, ExtendSim for Discrete-Event System Simulation, uses ExtendSim as a pedagogical tool to explore and expand upon the principles discussed in the DESS textbook*. This use of ExtendSim makes simulation concepts more easily communicated by instructors and more accessible to students.

	Use ExtendSim to visually explore concepts such as entities, attributes, events, activities, and delays
	Interactively examine the characteristics of single-server and multi-server queueing systems
	Learn about event scheduling, random number generation, and the proper use of random distributions
	Run trials and experiments on DESS examples using the LT version of ExtendSim

ExtendSim for Discrete-Event System Simulation includes:

	Easy-to-use and informative ExtendSim implementations of DESS examples
	Selected solutions to end-of-chapter exercises
	ExtendSim tutorials specifically designed for the DESS book
	Supplemental discussions based on the DESS chapters
	Access to supplemental Instructor material
	A limited (student) version of the ExtendSim software for Windows or Macintosh *
