SOFE 4820U – Modelling and Simulation

This course introduces computer simulation approaches using deterministic and Monte Carlo techniques in systems modelling, including: use of general purpose simulators in systems planning, design, evaluation, and prediction; life cycle of a simulation project; problem formulation; conceptual modelling and modelling techniques; simulation modelling including continuous and discrete event simulations; validation and verification; design of experiments, simulation tools and languages; output data analysis; and also special topics including uncertainty modelling, parallel and distributed simulations. Footprints of the computer simulation can be observed in all science and engineering fields such as transportation, manufacturing, design engineering.
