Introduction to Discrete Event Simulation

[Koalmnr]

In my studies in Industrial Engineering/Operation Research, I became
very interested in Discrete Event simulation (actually I became
interested in simulation back in my undergraduate work, but that is
another story). I was preparing a research proposal on this area, when
for several reasons I decide not to continue at this time (hence the
Masters of Engineering). So that my work would not go to waste, I have
created a site to make the work available to others (
http://www.albrechts.com/mike/DES/index.html ).

The following topics are covered in the attached pdf on DES:
Selecting a Simulation and Modeling Language
Evaluating a Simulation and Modeling Package
Using Discrete Event Simulation in Decision Support
What is Hybrid Simulation

I have also include an Annotated bibliography that was used in
preparing this site. And I have also included the draft of my research
proposal, entitled. My goal is to eventual complete this research, and
I am currently looking for a doctoral program to pursue it under
(advisors/sponsors sought).
