About this product
Product Information
General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS) is a special computer programming language primarily used to simulate what can be classified as discrete systems. A discrete system is one where, at any given instant in time, a countable number of things can take place. The basic operation of a mine itself can be considered such a system. Discrete Simulation and Animation for Mining Engineers explains how to model mining systems using GPSS/H(R) and PROOF(R) by Wolverine Software Corporation. Employing a unique approach that encourages engagement from the start, the text discusses animation first, and then slowly introduces simulation language. As each new topic is covered, an animation is provided to illustrate the key concepts. Leveraging valuable insight gained from the author's extensive experience modeling mines around the world, the book: Describes how to apply discrete system simulation to mines Shows how to make those simulations come alive with animation Includes real-world examples and exercises that hone practical problem-solving skills Written by a mining engineer for mining engineers and students of mining, Discrete Simulation and Animation for Mining Engineers offers a comprehensive yet accessible treatment of mine simulation and animation useful in increasing the efficiency of industrial mining processes.

Reviews
"... essential reading for those mining companies thinking of improving, innovating and generally increasing their production - or at least finding where the bottlenecks are. ... very detailed and lays out the methodology for developing solutions to typical mining problems - truck/shovel interactions, truck haul cycles, queuing at dumps/hoppers/shovels - the bread and butter of cost reduction in mining." --Shane Bennett, PT Kaltim Prima Coal The book has the perfectly recognizable "Sturgul style". ... very well written book, specially entertaining and educational, but complete and professional at the same time. Anyone who wants to learn about simulation in mining should read this book. It is fantastic for students, but professional mining engineers at work will also find "precious ore" in the book to solve their real life problems." --Marcelino Cortina, COO at Treelogic (Spain) "... an interesting book to introduce new users in the computer simulation word. It clearly states the benefits of computer simulation and how it helps to answer questions about how different parameters values or small/big changes in the system can affect the final performance." --Veronica Gil-Costa, Universidad Nacional de San Luis, Argentina "Easy to read and understand. ... presented in the style that Dr. Sturgul would use in any of his Mining classes. ... step-by-step instructions are easy to follow." --Allen Cooper "... aimed at giving the reader profound insights into the simulation of discrete mining systems. Having many years of experience, Sturgul uses an entertaining and interactive approach to teaching simulation. Readers will enjoy solving real-life problems using the knowledge gained from reading this book." --Vladimir Borissenko, Commissioning Process Engineer, Bozshakol Mine, KAZ Minerals PLC "Highly applicable in the real world, very descriptive, easy to follow, and peaks the interest of the user yielding a double benefit. With this book the student is likely to both become interested in the industrial mining process while at the same time learn about it. ... an excellent tool to get students to understand and apply simulation in the mining process." --Mario Candia, Independent Consultant for Mining and Soil Mechanics "... knowledge worthy for all mining industry students and professionals. The presentation is flawless and exhaustive for both students, beginners, and practitioners of mining simulation and has a place in the history of cutting edge mining applications." --Paul Appiah
