Course Objectives: Study the techniques and applications of computer simulation of existing or proposed real-world facilities and processes. The models of such facilities are often quite complex, precluding the use of more traditional analytical techniques. Specifically, students will learn to do simulations in a simulation language, to plan simulation studies, as well as analyze and interpret the result of simulations. Additional topics include selecting input probability distributions, random number generators, generating random variables, statistical analysis of simulation output, and variance reduction techniques.
Prerequisites: Graduate Standing
Students who have not successfully completed the course prerequisites must withdraw from this class. You risk deregistration otherwise.
Grading
Individual assignments (about 6) 50%
> Individual ProjectPaper 50% Individual assignments will consist of problems, modeling assignments, and summaries of research papers. Research papers representing different areas of simulation, including output analysis, random number generators, parallel simulation, verification and validation, applications and modeling, will be assigned in class. Each summary is limited to two pages of a single-sided, double-spaced 8.5"x11" page. All assignments and project must be done individually.
The computer work will be most conveniently done on computers running Windows.
The project will be a complete simulation study of your choosing.
