This book is edited by Paul A. Fishwick of the University of Florida,Gainesville, USA and is published in the series “Computer and Information Science.” It is publicized as “A complete guide to dynamic modelling,” which in itself is a very ambitious claim.
Admittedly this is a topic, which occurs in so many different academic researches and in so many applications in numerous endeavours, that it deserves a guide to its varied strands.
The publishers believe that this text has brought together many of the contributions made in so many different disciplines, and “explores a panoply of different types of modelling methods available for dynamical systems.”
This handbook aims to show how systems function and are represented over time and space and to illustrate how one should select a particular model based on a specific area of interest.
Its main features are given as:
brings together the theory and foundations of dynamic systems modeling along with the taxonomic catalog and applications of model types;
presents a wide range of model types that can be used in various applications from ecosystems analysis to mechanical engineering;
provides mathematical descriptions, pseudocode, and diagrams for simulating and analyzing models; and
introduces Modelica, and Simulink® from MATLAB®to illustrate computational model building.
