Review
“It is probably the only book to date, to present the synergy between modeling and simulation, systems engineering, and agent technologies and to also deal with agent simulation and agent-supported simulation.” (
Inside OR, November 2009)From the Inside Flap
Accessible to practitioners, researchers, and managers, it systematically addresses designing and building advanced agent-directed modelling and simulation systems from a systems engineering perspective.
Levent Yilmaz is associate professor at the departments of Computer Science and Software Engineering and Industrial and Systems Engineering in the College of Engineering, Auburn University, USA. Professor Yilmaz received his Ph.D. and M.S. degrees from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), Blacksburg, USA. His research interests include modeling and computer simulation, agent-directed simulation, and complex adaptive systems. Dr. Yilmaz has contributed to advancement of the theory and methodology of modeling and simulation via novel formalisms such as generative simulation, autonomic introspective simulation and their use in decision/creativity support systems. Professor Yilmaz is the Editor-in-Chief of the Simulation: Transactions of the Society for Computer Simulation International.
Tuncer I. Oren is professor emeritus of Computer Science at the School of Information Technology and Engineering (SITE) of the University of Ottawa, Canada where he worked since 1970. His Ph.D. is in Systems Engineering from the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ. His research interests include advanced methodologies for modelling and simulation, agent-directed simulation, cognitive simulation, reliability, quality, and ethics in simulation as well as body of knowledge and terminology of simulation. He has over 400 publications including 20 books and proceedings and contributed to over 370 conferences and seminars held in 30 countries.
