Subject: req., suggestions on text books in Simulation

Hi folks, I am a starting Grad. student in CS and want to learn the theory,
programming (for my present work it will be in C/C++) and all the Statistics
necessary in basic Computer based Simulation. However, I am fairly ignorent
of the area and would like people to suggest a good, comprehensive book(s)
to read on introductory to intermediate stuff in Simuation. You may suggest
advanced stuff, that I could use later too.
   If it may help, my work shall be in investigating Scheduling strategies
for multi-processor systems.
   I do not read this news-group regularly, so replies by e-mail shall be
greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Amit

Subject: Hierarchical.decomposition software
Content-Length: 1210
X-Lines: 32

In the early 1960's the architect Christopher Alexander used graphical 
decomposition as a means of understanding and solving complex community
planning problems having hundreds of potentially conflicting variables.


To do this, Alexander and an associate at MIT Marvin Manheim, wrote 
several programs for the IBM machine at their disposal. Does anyone know
whether these (or progeny) have been ported to the Mac or IBM-PC, and where 
I'd find them? (I have newsgroup and mail/mail server access only).
 
Otherwise, what tools can you recommend for this task?
 
The programs Alexander wrote were HIDEC2: a computer program for the 
hierarchical decomposition of a set with an associated graph (MIT Civil 
Engineering Sys Lab Publication no. 160, 1962) and HIDECS3: Four computer
programs for the hierarchical decomposition of systems which have an 
associated linear graph (MIT Civil Engineering Sys Lab research report 
no R63-27, 1963).
 
Appreciate any assistance you can p
rovide,
