Simio And Simulation

This book presents for the first time a methodology that combines the power of a modelling formalism such as colored petri nets with the flexibility of a discrete event program such as SIMIO. Industrial practitioners have seen the growth of simulation as a methodology for tacking problems in which variability is the common denominator.

The development team behind Simio introduced their first commercially available Discrete Event Simulation product over 46 years ago. For five decades, this team has remained at the forefront of innovation, continuously advancing the science and art of Discrete Event Simulation. In 2009, Simio released a comprehensive, agile simulation platform that represents an evolutionary fourth-generation design — built from the ground up to be fully object-oriented, data-generated, data-driven, and highly adaptive — critical innovations for overcoming hurdles that hampered previous generations.
