Bringing together an international group of researchers involved in military, business, and health modeling and simulation, Conceptual Modeling for Discrete-Event Simulation presents a comprehensive view of the current state of the art in the field. The book addresses a host of issues, including: What is a conceptual model?How is conceptual modeling performed in general and in specific modeling domains?What is the role of established approaches in conceptual modeling?Each of the book’s six parts focuses on a different aspect of conceptual modeling for simulation. The first section discusses the purpose and requirements of a conceptual model. The next set of chapters provides frameworks and tools for conceptual modeling. The book then describes the use of soft systems methodology for model structuring as well as the application of software engineering methods and tools for model specification. After illustrating how conceptual modeling is adopted in the military and semiconductor manufacturing, the book concludes with a discussion on future research directions.This volume offers a broad, multifaceted account of the field by presenting diverse perspectives on what conceptual modeling entails. It also provides a basis upon which these perspectives can be compared.

Statistical skills are essential for analysing data and ensuring optimal business operation and efficiency. In this clear and concise textbook, Les Oakshott and Kathy Kotiadis guide students through key quantitative techniques, from basic maths and statistics through to advanced topics such as hypothesis testing and linear programming.Grounded in the everyday realities of business, this textbook introduces each chapter with an engaging case study to highlight how organisations operationalise these techniques, ranging from the growth of China’s economy and a Covid-19 infection survey to goal scoring at Euro 2024 and the effect of global warming on the occurrence of salmonella in Singapore.New to this edition:-Links the UN Sustainable Development Goals to quantitative techniques -Greater emphasis on Excel to enable seamless transition to blended learning approaches-Walk-through videos of key processes hosted on the companion websiteThis is the essential textbook for delivering quantitative methods and business statistics modules to students of mixed maths abilities across undergraduate and postgraduate levels.Accompanying online resources for this title can be found at bloomsbury.pub/essential-quantitative-methods-8e. These resources are designed to support teaching and learning at no extra cost.
