title: Which books are used today to learn discrete-event simulation?
body: <p>I just got enrolled in a program that starts me in researches about new <em>Networks Protocols</em>, and my first assignment is to learn about <strong>Discrete-Event Simulation</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>It was recommended 2 books:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/com/026213229X" rel="nofollow noreferrer" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Simulating Computer Systems: Techniques and Tools</a> by  <strong>Myron H. MacDougall</strong></p>
  
  <p><a href="https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/com/0130986097" rel="nofollow noreferrer" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Simulation Model Design and Execution: Building Digital Worlds</a> by <strong>Paul Fishwick</strong></p>
  
  <p>Both books use tools that I won't be using in particularly but I was told it is a good book to learn the basics of simulation of discrete-events.</p>
  
  <p>But, as it happens, the MacDougall's book isn't really available in any other store except amazon dot com, and would take 2 months to deliver it to my address. And the Fishwick's book would cost a fortune that i'm not willing to spend right now.</p>
  
  <p>Now, I come here to ask <strong>which books are used today to learn discrete-event simulation that are similar to those?</strong></p>
  
  <p>P.S.: I will be using the SimPy simulation tool based on Python.</p>
