System Modelling and Simulation

The result of a symposium sponsored by the IMACS Technical Committee of Control Systems and Robotics, this book contains research papers on various theoretical and practical aspects of system modelling and simulation. The ``Applications'' section looks at a wide variety of subjects, including papers such as ``Ship Design Parameters' Optimization Computer System'', ``Simulation of the Enhanced Oil Recovery Process as a Moving Boundary Problem'' and ``A Generalized Model to Simulate Urgent Hospital Departments'', to name three at random.
