Synopses & Reviews
This second edition describes the fundamentals of modelling and simulation of continuous-time, discrete time, discrete-event and large-scale systems. Coverage new to this edition includes: a chapter on non-linear systems analysis and modelling, complementing the treatment of of continuous-time and discrete-time systems; and a chapter on the computer animation and visualization of dynamical systems motion.;College or university bookstores may order five or more copies at a special student price, available on request from Marcel Dekker Inc.
Book News Annotation:
A comprehensive text for advanced undergraduate and beginning
graduate students, as well as a reference for practicing engineers
and scientists. For readers with relatively limited expertise in
computers, relevant computer-oriented topics are covered throughout,
in addition to a separate chapter on the architecture of
multiprocessor systems. Special attention is given to the treatment
of large-scale systems as well as discrete-event systems. Related
case studies are taken from such diverse areas as control systems,
robotics, manufacturing, electric power, and economic systems. This
revised edition adds new chapters on nonlinear systems analysis and
modeling, computer visualization of dynamic system motion, and
concepts of power system modeling and simulation.
