โฆ Synopsis
imulation: A Modeler's Approach by James R. Thompson is a thought-provoking overview of simulation as a computation-intensive way of doing statistics and modeling.
The key idea of this emerging approach is to trade closed-form rigor for speed of model development and fidelity to the original process.
This book partially fills a gap between mathematical models and agentbased approaches, acting as a primer in statistically sophisticated simulation of concise models. Although Thompson's moderately mathematical book contains some minor errors and is not comprehensive enough to be a "handbook

The simulation of self-reproduction in systems of automata and biological cells is a promising technique for the study of biological self-organization. A special-purpose compiler (Cellular List-Processing Program, CLPP) has been written in SDS-920 machine language and used for models of this type.
