Computer simulators are continuously confronted with questions concerning the choice of a particular technique for a given application. A wide variety of tools exist, so the choice of technique requires a good understanding of the basic principles. More importantly, such understanding may greatly improve the efficiency of a simulation program. The implementation of simulation methods is illustrated in pseudocodes and their practical use in the case studies used in the text.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSince the first edition only five years ago, the simulation world has changed significantly -- current techniques have matured and new ones have appeared. This new edition deals with these new developments; in particular, there are sections on: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eTransition path sampling and diffusive barrier crossing to simulaterare events\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDissipative particle dynamic as a course-grained simulation technique\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNovel schemes to compute the long-ranged forces\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHamiltonian and non-Hamiltonian dynamics in the context constant-temperature and constant-pressure molecular dynamics simulations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMultiple-time step algorithms as an alternative for constraints\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDefects in solids\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe pruned-enriched Rosenbluth sampling, recoil-growth, and concerted rotations for complex molecules\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eParallel tempering for glassy Hamiltonians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eExamples are included that highlight current applications and the codes of case studies are available on the World Wide Web.
