Description
The Concise Encyclopedia of Modelling & Simulation contains 172 alphabetically arranged articles describing the modelling
and simulation of physical systems. The emphasis is on mathematical models and their various forms, although other types of models, such
as knowledge-based, linguistics-based, graphical and data-based, are also discussed. The articles are revised from the Systems &
Control Encyclopedia, and many newly commissioned articles are included describing recent developments in the field. Articles on
identification cover all aspects of this problem, from the use and choice of specific test signals to problems of model order and the
many algorithms and approaches to parameter estimation. Computational techniques, such as the finite-element method, that play an important
role in analyzing nonlinear models are covered. Articles outline the development of simulation, consider currently available simulation
languages, describe applications and cover current developments in the area. Where appropriate, illustrations and tables are included
to clarify particular topics. This encyclopedia will be a valuable reference source for all practising engineers, researchers and postgraduate
students in the field of modelling and simulation.
Audience
For scientists in academia and industry involved with the design, modelling and simulation of physical systems, and systems and control theorists and practitioners.
