Bringing together an international group of researchers involved in military, business, and health modeling and simulation, Conceptual Modeling for Discrete-Event Simulation presents a comprehensive view of the current state of the art in the field. The book addresses a host of issues, including:

What is a conceptual model?
How is conceptual modeling performed in general and in specific modeling domains?
What is the role of established approaches in conceptual modeling?

Each of the book's six parts focuses on a different aspect of conceptual modeling for simulation. The first section discusses the purpose and requirements of a conceptual model. The next set of chapters provides frameworks and tools for conceptual modeling. The book then describes the use of soft systems methodology for model structuring as well as the application of software engineering methods and tools for model specification. After illustrating how conceptual modeling is adopted in the military and semiconductor manufacturing, the book concludes with a discussion on future research directions.

This volume offers a broad, multifaceted account of the field by presenting diverse perspectives on what conceptual modeling entails. It also provides a basis upon which these perspectives can be compared.

Industry Reviews

... a comprehensive account of the various aspects of conceptual modeling. ... a very useful supplement to the traditional literature on simulation methods. The book will also be very useful to teachers and students. ... this book offers rich material for an adequate expansion of any simulation course ... Furthermore, it can be used in an autonomous course on modeling. ... Overall, the book is a comprehensive and useful review of the state of the art of conceptual modeling ideas, approaches, and applications. I recommend it to simulation practitioners, researchers, and teachers.
-Computing Reviews, January 2011

This volume collects different perspectives on modeling the dynamics of a system as a series of discrete events at which the state of the system changes. ... The contributors investigate the relationship between complexity and model performance, show how software engineering principles can be applied to conceptual modeling for discrete-event simulation, and address the importance of structuring the problem effectively.
