Computer simulation is a discipline of designing a model of an
actual or
theoreticalphysicalsystem，executingexperimentsonthecomputer，
analyzing the simulated outputs， and optimizing the system. It is a
powerful tool that is often applied to the design and analysis and
optimization of complex systems.
This book aims to give a fundamental knowledge about the system
concepts，systemmodelingmethodology，andcomputersimulation
technology. The main contents of the book are about the technology
and application of the Witness simulation software of the Lanner
Groups. The ACD （Activity Cycle Diagram） based system analysis and
modeling， and the computerized modeling with the Witness'' Elements，
Rules， Actions， etc.are discussed. Some examples have presented and
explained in order to make the contents more understandable.
This manuscript is firstly prepared in 2005. After two years''
teaching in the Industrial Engineering classes of Zhejiang
University， several thorough modifications have been made and this
is the third vcrsi0n.
This book is hoped useful for the Chinese universities to have a
bilingual course about the System Modeling and Simulation， and also
useful for the users of the Witness software.
