Comparisons of System Dynamic Simulation techniques with oth

[ularoch@ibm.net]

hi, maybe the paper in proceedings isdc 92 utrecht page 355 ba u. la roche
will give a useful overview guiding further research into the question.
the principal world views using simulation are compared:
-next event
-activity scanning
-process interaction
-
transaction flows

There are many writings on this subject. See in particular,

Greenberger, Crenson and Crissey, Models in the Policy Process. NY: Russel
Sage 1976.

A good reading also is "The Unavoidable Apriori" by Dana Meadows

You may find a discussion about the several simulation techniques
(discrete & continuous, including SD) as applied to problems in OR/MS,
in the following reference:

Pidd, M (1993) "Computer Simulation in Management Science", John Wiley &
Sons, Chicester: England.

Does anyone have any information on comparison among various simulation
techniques, especially contrasting System Dynamics against others?
Any information or pointers to relevant info would be appreciated.
