Managing Open Source Projects: A Wiley Tech Brief (Repost)

This text teaches, by example, how to create models, simulate performance simulations and analyze results. It takes a quantitative approach and covers a range of event driven and time driven models. In addition it is software independent - to make implementations as generic as possible, which allows for experimentation with different implementations. It includes 100 worked examples, ranging from simple "exercise" type problems to entire models and simulation and incorporates a number of disciplines in modelling process: biology, population dynamics, physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering and computer science. Algorithms and programmes are available on associated web site.
