• 1. Defining simulation: what, why and when?2. Inside simulation software3. Software for simulation4. Simulation studies: an overview5. Conceptual modelling6. Developing the conceptual model7. Data collection and analysis8. Model coding9. Experimentation: obtaining accurate results10. Experimentation: searching the solution space11. Implementation12. Verification, validation and confidence13. The practice of simulation

I recommend the book to my students, as it helps build good understanding of how simulation studies are applied in practice. The book is supported by good illustrative examples, case studies, as well as self-assessment questions.
