An excellent book for understanding SLAM programming and simulation concepts. In my opinion it is not a simulation statistics book. It deals with the subject only at a very minimum discussion level. In order to fully benefit from the book some familiarity with queueing theory, statitics (time based) understanding of discrete and continuous distributions and some FORTRAN programming helps. It would enhance the book if more discussion is added as to the installing and running the software. The cross-section of examples is pretty good e.g. logistics, manufacturing, traffic, pert, etc.I greatly enjoyed the flowchart method of writing the programs and constructing a real system in the form of a diagram flow. Great book!
