Textbooks

• Simulation Modeling and Arena, 2nd Edition, 2016, John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
  • Emphasizes a hands-on approach to learning statistical analysis and model building through the use of comprehensive examples, problems sets, and software applications.

• Simulation Modeling and Arena, 3rd and Open Text Edition
  • Similarly to the previous two editions, the book is intended as an introductory textbook for a first course in discrete-event simulation modeling and analysis for upper-level undergraduate students as well as entering graduate students. The text is now freely available in an open text edition.

• JSL – Java Simulation Library, an Open Text Book
  • The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of the Java Simulation Library (JSL). The JSL facilitates simulation modeling by providing Java libraries that ease the development of simulation models. The JSL has packages for random variable generation, statistical analysis, event calendar management, and other common constructs that are needed when performing Monte Carlo and discrete event simulation modeling.
