Foreword

Simulation, as a discipline, provides infrastructure for solving challenging problems for scores of application areas in cases where experimentation and experience are needed. Both features can be offered under all conceivable realistic as well as extreme conditions. For the first aspect, simulation is goal-directed experimentation with models of dynamic systems. With its ability to provide experience, simulation plays a vital role in training by providing possibilities to develop/enhance competence in one of the three types of skills, namely motor skills, decision making and communication skills, and operational skills. The last one is also very important in training operators of control systems.

Computer simulation and modeling are ...
