The discipline has in recent years expanded to include the modelling of systems that rely on human factors and therefore possess a large proportion of uncertainty, such as social, economic or commercial systems. These new applications make the discipline of modelling and simulation a field of dynamic growth and new research.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanislaw Raczynski outlines the considerable and promising research that is being conducted to counter the problems of uncertainty surrounding the methods used to approach these new applications. It aims to stimulate the reader into seeking out new tools for modelling and simulation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines the state-of-the-art in recent research into methods of approaching new applications in the field of modelling and simulation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides an introduction to new modelling tools such as differential inclusions, metric structures in the space of models, semi-discrete events, and use of simulation in parallel optimization techniques\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses recently developed practical applications: for example the PASION simulation system, stock market simulation, a new fluid dynamics tool, manufacturing simulation and the simulation of social structures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIllustrated throughout with a series of case studies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eModelling and Simulation: The Computer Science of Illusion\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to academics, postgraduate students, researchers and practitioners in the modelling and simulation of industrial computer systems.
