It alerts readers to all the potential pitfalls that can occur in developing and implementing network M\u0026amp;S, offering a clear set of rules to streamline the entire process and ensure the validity of results. The book focuses on wireless network M\u0026amp;S; however, the authors' expert advice, based on their own firsthand experience and review of the current literature, is applicable to network M\u0026amp;S in general.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAn Introduction to Network Modeling and Simulation for the Practicing Engineer\u003c\/i\u003e begins with a brief summary of the advantages and disadvantages of M\u0026amp;S as well as an overview of common M\u0026amp;S tools.

Throughout the book, examples guide readers through each M\u0026amp;S task, with descriptive diagrams providing additional clarification.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn many cases, M\u0026amp;S is the only viable way to understand the behavior of a proposed network prior to its deployment. Working with \u003ci\u003eAn Introduction to Network Modeling and Simulation for the Practicing Engineer\u003c\/i\u003e, readers can ensure that their models and simulations are as accurate a reflection of reality as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eJack L.
