TY - CHAP AU - Evon Abu-Taieh ED - Evon Abu-Taieh ED - Asim Abdel El Sheikh Ahmed Y1 - 2019-01-21 PY - 2019 T1 - Introductory Chapter: Simulation and Modeling N2 - The influx of data in the world today needs analysis that no one method can handle. Some reports estimated the influx of data would reach 163 zitabytes by 2025, hence the need for simulation and modeling theory and practice. Simulation and modeling tools and techniques are most important in this day and age. While simulation carries the needed work, tools for visualizing the results help in the decision-making process. Simulation ranges from a simple queue to molecular dynamics, including seismic reliability analysis, structural integrity assessment, games, reliability engineering, and system safety. This book will introduce practitioners, researchers, and novice users to simulation and modeling, and to the world of imagination.
