Chapter Chapter 9 in Foundations and Methods of Stochastic Simulation, 2013, pp 243-252 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This book is about simulation modeling, programming and experimentation for the purpose of systems analysis. However, stochastic simulation is also a tool that can be used to support basic research in domains such as simulation, optimization, queueing, financial engineering, production planning and logistics. In this chapter we cite some papers that demonstrate effective application of simulation in research and use them to highlight general principles and practices. We start with two important distinctions.
