Simulation Welcome! یﺭﺑﻭﻧ ﯽﻧﺍﺭﻳﺣ ﻕﺩﺎﺻ Sadegh Nobari Computer Eng. Department Room 817 CE634 Tel: 6616 6685 Email: Nobari @ sharif Presented by Sadegh Nobari Simulation What is Simulation? Modeling • Simulation is the imitation of the operation • Modeling involves observing a system, of a real-world process or system over noting the various components, then time. developing a representation of the system • The act of simulating something that will allow for further study of or experimentation on the system • first requires that a model be developed • represents the key characteristics or behaviors of • Focus the selected physical or abstract system or • Data Structures & Implementation process. • Interaction of the components • The model represents the system itself, whereas the simulation represents the operation of the system over time. Simulation Simulation 1

Simulation Application The process of running a (computer) • Performance evaluation model of a real system to study or conduct experiments • For understanding the model or its behavior • To evaluate strategies for operation of the system • Involves generation of an artificial history, used to draw conclusions about the real system Simulation Simulation Aims, Objectives and Syllabus Textbooks In this module we learn the principles of • J. Banks, J. S. Carson, B. L. Nelson and simulation and how to: D. M. Nicol, Discrete-Event System Simulation, 5th edition • Build a model for a system • Till chapter 10 • Implement an event driven model • Validate a model Simulation Simulation 2
