majorelements of simulation modelling. In the introductory part thebasic
ideas of simulation as well as the key approaches tosimulation modelling
are described. In the part of the bookdevoted to discrete event simulation
the strategies of simulationexecution, development of simulation programs,
simulationlanguage GPSS, validation and verification of
simulationmodels,generation of samples, analysis of input data, planning
ofsimulation experiments and analysis of simulation output data
aredescribed. In the part devoted to system dynamics the conceptualmethods
of system dynamics, simulation equations and simulationlanguage DYNAMO as
well as several classes of problems which canbe modelled by discrete event
simulation are described.

Summary: The paper discribes a method based on the theory of
Kovalenko'spiecewise-linear processes to find the ergodic distribution
inthe M/G/1 queuing system. The ergodic probabilities are computedon the
basis of mean values of times spent in different statesfor a busy period.
In order to determine these mean values oftimes a reccurence relation is
obtained.

oriented, and methods borrowed from othercomputer modelling areas. The main
diagrammatic methods aredescribed in some detail (augmented Petri nets,
activity cyclediagrams, event graphs and GPSS block diagrams) and

Summary: Discrete event simulation is a powerful method for
quantitativemodelling of dynamic systems, enabling the extension of
thepredominantly time-neutral capacities of the artificialintelligence
methods. In this paper we demonstrated that thediscrete event simulation
model structure and its executioncontrol can be considered as unordered
collections of units whoseexecution is data-sensitive. Understanding of
methodologicalsimilarities of two methods can possibly lead to
cooperationbetween the two methods in a natural way.

Summary: This paper discusses problems of real programs
behaviourmodelling in models of parallel computing systems.
Differentaspects of program behaviour and possibilities of their
modellingby analytical and simulation means are discussed. We propose
anapproach for modelling of database management system behaviourand
database application behaviour in simulation system ofgeneralized
multiprocessor system with three-level memoryhierarchy.

Summary: In this paper technical capabilities of several
diagrammatic modelling methods (augmented Petri nets, activity diagrams,
activity cycle diagrams) for hierarchical modelling are demonstrated.
Top-down model development with diagrammatic modelling techniques is
illustrated on a comprehensive example of modelling airport passenger
building.

Summary: The paper discuss potential benefits of a standardized
Petri net for discrete event simulation, such as easier understanding and
accepting of Petri net technique and ability to assess modelling power of
different Petri net extensions. DES-net, a prototype of a standardized
Petri net technique developed by the author is presented and demonstrated.

Summary: This paper describes a series of experiments whose
objective was to evaluate holographic neural networks as a possible tool
for currency exchange rate prediction. The results give some indications
when neural networks in general are suitable for prediction problems, and
demonstrate certain advantages of holographic versus traditional neural
networks.

Summary: The thesis investigates which characteristics
typicalmanufacturing simulators possess, and how the user requirementscan
be fulfilled better. For the purpose of software evaluation,a case study
has been carried out on a real manufacturing system.Several simulation
models of an automated system forelectrostatic powder coating have been
developed using differentsimulators. A comprehensive evaluation framework
has beendeveloped to facilitate selection of simulation software
formodelling manufacturing systems. Different hierarchies ofevaluation
criteria have been established for different softwarepurposes. A survey has
been conducted involving a number of usersof software for manufacturing
simulation. A methodology forsimulation software selection was derived, and
propsals on howmanufactoring simulators can be improved are made, both
foreducation and for industry.
Keywords: simulation modelling, simulation software, manufacturing systems, model evaluation
