System Modeling and Simulation

Description

The course gives the theoretic aspects of simulation, followed by its probabilistic and statistical un-derpinnings, including random number generation. It addresses simulation-related theory of input analysis, and output analysis. It also provides a background about Markov chain processes and queu-ing theory. Finally, the course describes and illustrates modeling of some applications using simula-tion software.
