The different types of experimentation and reasons why to use simulation experiments in the various application domains are the topic of this chapter of the SCS M&S Body of Knowledge. It addresses the types of simulation techniques, introduces the simulation of discrete systems using DEVS in detail, and also comprises a section on continuous systems. It concludes with current views on hybrid M&S, real time simulation, and how to cope with comprehensive systems.
