What is Simulation?

• Simulation is the imitation of the operation
• f a real-world process or system over

time.

• The act of simulating something
• first requires that a model be developed
• represents the key characteristics or behaviors of

the selected physical or abstract system or process.

• The model represents the system itself,

whereas the simulation represents the

• peration of the system over time.

Simulation

Modeling

• Modeling involves observing a system,

noting the various components, then developing a representation of the system that will allow for further study of or experimentation on the system

• Focus
• Data Structures & Implementation
• Interaction of the components

Simulation

The process of running a (computer) 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

Application

• Performance evaluation

Simulation

Aims, Objectives and Syllabus

In this module we learn the principles of simulation and how to:

• Build a model for a system
• Implement an event driven model
• Validate a model

Simulation

Textbooks

• J. Banks, J. S. Carson, B. L. Nelson and
• D. M. Nicol, Discrete-Event System

Simulation, 5th edition

• Till chapter 10

Project A group of up to 4 students will make a presentation to the class on a topic related to simulation (10-15 minutes).

• All Papers MUST be selected from the following

conferences (2010-present):

• PADS
• Principles of Advanced and Distributed Simulation
• TOMACS
• The ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer

Simulation

• SpringSim
• Spring Simulation Multiconference
• WSC
• Winter Simulation Conference

Simulation

Project

• Approval of your selected paper
• Deliverables
• An oral progress report in my office
• A report of 7+ pages in ACM style-double

column

• A presentation
• Presentations will be spread out over

several class periods (not all at once) with the first being scheduled after the Nowruz

• Please begin your search for a topic
