Modeling Tools for Environmental
Engineers and Scientists |
| N. Nirmalakhandan |
This
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 |
Presents 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 |
Parks
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 |
This 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.

Simulation Modeling and Analysis (Fourth Edition) |
| Averill M. Law, Ph.D. |
Since
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:
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
 |
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). |
