Abstract :
This paper provides a gentle introduction to the fundamentals of computer simulation. It discusses the difference between the various approaches in common use and highlights the importance of a carefully considered approach to modelling. Its main stress is on discrete event methods within which it describes conceptual modelling, statistical aspects and the types of computer software which are available.
