S.L. Campbell, J.-P. Chancelier, R. Nikoukhah Modeling and Simulation in Scilab/Scicos with ScicosLab 4.4 ▶ First book to focus on simulation and modeling ▶ First book to put a major emphasis on Scicos and discuss it in depth ▶ Over 100 illustrations ▶ Large number of carefully worked out examples and illustrations ▶ Does not presuppose familiarity with Scilab/Scicos ▶ Discusses some related aspects of simulation and modeling ▶ Provides guidance in the use of Scilab ▶ All code used in the book is available on the web ScicosLab is a free open-source software package for scientific computation. It includes a Scilab interpreter and hundreds of general purpose and specialized functions for numerical computation, organized in libraries called toolboxes, which cover such areas as simulation, optimization, systems and control, and signal processing. One important ScicosLab toolbox is Scicos. Scicos provides a block diagram graphical editor for the 2nd ed. 2010, XI, 330 p. construction and simulation of dynamical systems. The objective of this book is to provide a tutorial for the use of Scilab/Scicos with a special emphasis on modeling and simulation tools. Printed book Hardcover The book is based on the new ScicosLab 4.4.

Students and academic and industrial scientists and engineers should find it useful. eBook The book is divided into two parts. The first part concerns Scilab and includes a tutorial Available from your bookstore or covering the language features, the data structures and specialized functions for doing ▶ springer.com/shop graphics, importing, exporting data and interfacing external routines. It also covers in detail the numerical solvers for ordinary differential equations and differential-algebraic equations available in ScicosLab. Even though the emphasis is placed on modeling and MyCopy simulation applications, this part provides a global view of the Scilab language. The Printed eBook for just second part is dedicated to modeling and simulation of dynamical systems in Scicos. ▶ € | $ 24.99 ▶ springer.com/mycopy This type of modeling tool is widely used in industry because it provides a means for constructing modular and reusable models. This part contains a detailed description of the editor and its usage, which is illustrated through numerous examples. All codes used in the book are made available to the reader. This book is an updated and expanded version of an earlier edition based on Scilab 3.1. Stephen L.
