| Aim: The main goal of this course is to provide students with basic knowledge in computer based simulation and its use in the analysis of oth discrete-event and continuous systems. In the course different purposes and application areas of computer based simulation are covered as well as their correspondence with analytical models. The course includes the series of laboratory assignments where students will acquire practical experience in ARENA simulation software. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) TAMM43 Statistical Analysis Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: Lectures: 12 hrs; Seminars: 4 hrs. Computer labs: 20 hrs. |
|||
| Course contents: Important terms, e.g. system, model, simulation, modeling. Types of simulation. Discrete-event system simulation and continuous simulation. Advantages and disadvantages of simulation. Simulation software. Fundamental concepts in dynamic discrete-event simulation. Setting up a simulation study. Steps in simulation study.
