. Modeling Tools for Environmental Engineers and Scientists
N. Nirmalakhandan

Modeling Tools for Environmental Engineers and ScientistsThis book allows nonprogrammers to develop computer-based mathematical models for natural and engineered environmental systems. Written for upper-level students and professionals, this book includes a review of mathematical modeling and fundamental concepts such as material balance, reactor configurations, and fate and transport of environmental contaminants. It illustrates, using numerous examples, how mathematical and dynamic modeling software can be applied in analyzing and simulating natural and engineered environmental systems. An older version of ExtendSim is used to develop and analyze numerous models throughout the book.

. Operations Management: Strategy and Analysis (6th ed.)
Lee J. Krajewski & Larry P. Ritzman

Operations ManagementPresents strategic and managerial issues in order to emphasize that the decisions made by operations managers should be consistent with a corporate strategy shared by managers in all functional areas. It presents the operations tools and techniques for solving problems in the context of achieving a firm's overall goals and strategies, and provides a balanced treatment of manufacturing and services throughout. This sixth addition adds an increased emphasis on processes, to provide linkage between operational issues, as well as new problem-solving software (including an older version of Extend LT) and a website with innovative Internet resources. For operations managers in a variety of fields.

. Parks and Carrying Capacity: Commons Without Tragedy
Robert E. Manning

KarayanakisParks and Carrying Capacity looks at long term management and sustainability of parks and related areas. It offers a historical and conceptual treatment of carrying capacity describing and illustrating research approaches for assessing carrying capacity, including qualitative and quantitative surveys, normative theory and methods, visual research approaches, trade-off analysis, and simulation modeling.

The book includes a series of case studies, some of which use ExtendSim, that describe research programs designed to support analysis and management of carrying capacity at eight diverse units of the U.S. National Park System, and an additional case study that explores how the foundational components of carrying capacity (formulating indicators and standards, monitoring, and adaptive management) are being applied in an increasing number of environmental and natural resources fields to address the growing urgency of sustainability.

. Simulation Based Engineering of Complex Systems
John R. Clymer, Ph.D., California State University Fullerton

Simulation Based EngineeringThis book is designed for a broad spectrum of readers to help gain an understanding of complex systems. It will be shown that, although complex systems have behaviors that are difficult to understand, the underlying modeling building blocks are simple and easy to understand. It will instruct you in the use of the OpEMCSS library blocks (an Extend Module) to simulate interacting concurrent processes.

Averill M. Law, Ph.D.

Simulation Modeling and AnalysisSince the publication of the first edition in 1982, the goal of Simulation Modeling and Analysis has always been to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art, and technically correct treatment of all important aspects of a simulation study. The book strives to make this material understandable by the use of intuition and numerous figures, examples, and problems. It is equally well suited for use in university courses, simulation practice, and self study. The book is widely regarded as the “bible” of simulation and now has more than 100,000 copies in print. The book can serve as the primary text for a variety of courses; for example:

button A first course in simulation at the junior, senior, or beginning-graduate-student level in engineering, manufacturing, business, or computer science (Chaps. 1 through 4, and parts of Chaps. 5 through 9). At the end of such a course, the students will be prepared to carry out complete and effective simulation studies, and to take advanced simulation courses.
button A second course in simulation for graduate students in any of the above disciplines (most of Chaps. 5 through 12). After completing this course, the student should be familiar with the more advanced methodological issues involved in a simulation study, and should be prepared to understand and conduct simulation research.
button An introduction to simulation as part of a general course in operations research or management science (part of Chaps. 1, 3, 5, 6, and 9).
