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.

It is a very good book. Text wise, substantially easy to follow by students, and full of practical tips that can be immediately employed in any model development cycle, even by students with no prior exposure to simulation techniques.

Dr Maurizio Tomasella, Edinburgh University

“I believe the book provides the reader with a thorough introduction to the field of (discrete event) simulation. The book is authored by a true authority in simulation. It succeeds in providing the reader with an end-to-end understanding of the multitude of activities constituting a simulation project from before its begun until implementing the findings.
I think the book makes an important contribution to the literature and I will welcome a third edition.”

Prof Allan Larsen, Technical University of Denmark

“It's the best book of its type that exists right now.”

Prof Simon Taylor, Brunel University

“An excellent book about simulation modelling.”
