Modeling and Simulation in the Systems Engineering Life Cycle

The textbook 'Modeling and Simulation in the Systems Engineering Life Cycle' offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts of modeling and simulation (M&S) as well as systems engineering. The text is easy to understand and covers a wide range of technologies, methods, and applications used throughout the life cycle phase of systems engineering. It not only conveys the theoretical foundations but also presents practical approaches and case studies that illustrate the use of M&S in various domains. The book highlights the application of Monte Carlo techniques, surrogate modeling, and distributed simulations to optimally design and analyze experiments. Additionally, contributions from subject matter experts are included, providing different perspectives and in-depth insights into the topic. Readers will gain a solid overview of the processes and methods essential for understanding and implementing M&S within the framework of systems engineering. The practice-oriented case studies and methodological explanations make the book a valuable resource for both students and professionals alike.
