Overview
- Describes how systems engineering principles can be used in the development of models and simulations
- Addresses how modeling and simulation is used in each phase of the systems engineering life cycle
- Discusses a wide variety of methodologies, examining the types of problems each method is best suited to address, rather than focusing on one specific methodology
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Simulation Foundations, Methods and Applications (SFMA)

About this book
This easy to read text provides a broad introduction to the fundamental concepts of modeling and simulation (M&S) and systems engineering, highlighting how M&S is used across the entire systems engineering lifecycle. Features: reviews the full breadth of technologies, methodologies and uses of M&S, rather than just focusing on a specific aspect of the field; presents contributions from specialists in each topic covered; introduces the foundational elements and processes that serve as the groundwork for understanding M&S; explores common methods and methodologies used in M&S; discusses how best to design and execute experiments, covering the use of Monte Carlo techniques, surrogate modeling and distributed simulation; explores the use of M&S throughout the systems development lifecycle, describing a number of methods, techniques, and tools available to support systems engineering processes; provides a selection of case studies illustrating the use of M&S in systems engineering across a variety of domains.
