Features, What's New

New to this edition:

  • Text features coverage of the latest academic version of Arena software.
  • New software capabilities are included in later chapters.
  • New Exercises in all the chapters, updated with solutions in the new software.

If you were familiar with the fourth edition, here are the main changes for the 5th edition:

  • The CD has been replaced by a download site available via www.mhhe.com/kelton
  • All the examples have been updated to conform to the current Arena version. The software is largely consistent with what was discussed in the fourth edition, but there are several new features and capabilities that we illustrate, including improved animated plots and string variables and attributes.
  • New homework exercises have been added in most chapters and many of the existing exercises have been modified.
  • Among the new exercises are health-care applications in Chapters 4 and 6 and military models in Chapters 8 and 11.
  • Updates for a number of Arena modules that have been modified in the current version of the software.
  • Other than Chapter 10, all chapters cover the same material as in the fourth edition, except for updates.
  • Chapter 10 has a new Section 10.6 on strings and their use in reading in character data from other sources.
  • The support materials on the Web site (slides and solutions) have all been updated.
