Our objective for this second edition of Simio and Simulation: Modeling Anal-ysis Applications as with the first edition is for it to serve as the primary textin introductory and perhaps second courses in simulation at both the under-graduate and beginning-graduate levels. Such simulation courses are found in departments of industrial and systems engineering most business schoolsand many computer-science departments; simulation courses are also found in other engineering disciplines (mechanical civil electrical chemical) mathe-matics statistics epidemiology and agriculture. The text or components of it could also support a simulation module of a few weeks within a larger sur-vey course in programs without a stand-alone simulation course (e.g. MBA). It is written in an accessible tutorial-style writing approach centered aroundspecific examples rather than general concepts and covers a variety of appli-cations. Our experience has shown that these characteristics make the text easier to read and absorb as well as appealing to students from many dfferentbackgrounds.
