Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Scilab is a free open-source software package for scientific computation. It includes 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 Scilab toolbox is Scicos. Scicos provides a block diagram graphical editor for the 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. While it will provide useful information to experienced users it is designed to be accessible to beginning users from a variety of disciplines. Students and academic and industrial scientists and engineers should find it useful. The book is divided into two parts. The first part concerns Scilab and includes a tutorial covering the language features, the data structures and specialized functions for doing graphics, importing, exporting data and interfacing external routines. It also covers in detail Scilab numerical solvers for ordinary differential equations and differential-algebraic equations. Even though the emphasis is placed on modeling and simulation applications, this part provides a global view of Scilab. The second part is dedicated to modeling and simulation of dynamical systems in Scicos. 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 is made available to the reader. This new edition includes expanded chapters, new exercises and major rewrites for examples to work with the new Maple.

About the Author
Stephen L. Campbell is a professor of mathematics and a director of graduate programs at North Carolina State University, having published extensively on numerical methods and control. Jean-Philippe Chancelier is affiliated with CERMICS Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées and is one of the original developers of Scilab. Ramine Nikoukhah is a director of research at INRIA (The French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control), senior member of IEEE, one of the original developers of Scilab, and is the creator of Scicos.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book, January 29, 2006
The book "Modeling and Simulation with Scilab/Scicos"
is well written and understandable to
readers with the basic signal processing and programming
background.
The reader can refresh/improve the knowledge of
some basic control theory material, while at the
same time learns how to apply Scilab/Scicos at simulation and
modeling problems.
I worked with Matlab for many years before and I found
Scilab/Scicos a very powerful alternative to Matlab/Simulink
and is free!
I recommend strongly this book to any scientist/engineer that
plans to explore the benefits of the excellent open
source Scilab/Scicos environment.

3.0 out of 5 stars It does not have all the books examples available, October 26, 2007
By Stanley J. Packer (Fruit Heights, UT United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I like the book. It is one of the only Scilab/Scicos books available. However the back cover and the publishers review says "All codes used in the book are made available to the reader" There are not any Scilab codes that are available and the ONLY available codes are Scicos examples for chapter 7. It looks like the authors of the Scilab part of the book thought it was too much effort to include any code on the books web page.
