Concepts and Methodologies for Modeling and Simulation

"The book is written in a vigorous and simple way while doing easy the reading for scientists and public with different levels of knowledge and with different needs and curiosities about treated topics, which places the book as a necessary reference for the progress of knowledge on modeling and simulation. ... offer opportunities to help advance knowledge, improving the quality of results and respect ethical principles which are gaining ground every day in the constructions of the new global society."
