Design and Analysis of Simulation Experiments

Jack Kleijnen is well known internationally for being a leading researcher in simulation for more than 30 years. He is the author of highly cited books in the area of statistical techniques in simulation that were published between 1974 and 1992. He is an excellent writer and researcher, and hence, ideally suited to write this important book for the field.  On 25 February 2008 Her Majesty Beatrix, Queen of the Netherlands, appointed Jack Kleijnen a Knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion.
