CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS

Discrete and Continuous Simulation: Theory and Practice (Call for Book Chapter)
To be published by CRC Press (Taylor and Francis) (Confirmed)

This is a book on Simulation which is expected be helpful for researchers from various fields of study. The special features of this book will include: Optimization with the help of Simulation, a Study of Continuous Event Simulation, hybrid simulation, a review of applications of Simulation in various fields of study, Simulation in Supply Chain and Manufacturing, directions to future technologies and trends of Simulation.

The researchers are expected to get a detailed idea of Simulation Theory and its applications, along with an overview of related literature on Simulation, particularly in the field of Manufacturing. The researchers are also expected to get ideas of optimization with the help of Simulation and the direction to further study in this field.
