CEN 440: Computer Simulation and Modelling

Offered Under: B.Sc. in Computer Engineering (CEN)

Description

Fundamental concepts in modelling and simulation are explored in this course. An applied approach using practical examples will strengthen the techniques learned. Topics include: Statistical background for simulation; system reliability; mathematical description of general dynamic systems; discrete event; discrete time and continuous time; queuing models; effects of queue disciplines; factors affecting queue systems; implementation and management of models; performance evaluation of models; simulation languages; SLAM. Students entering the course should have a strong grasp of a high level programming language.

Prerequisites:

CEN 317 + Lab : Numerical Methods

Expected Outcome(s):

Differentiate between dynamic and static models, discrete event and continuous-time systems.
Define, explain, and discuss the fundamental elements of discrete-event simulation including analytical elements, random processes, random variates, and inputs to simulation.
Analyse a real world problem, and apply modelling methodologies to develop a discrete-event simulation model.
Interpret and contrast discrete-event techniques for implementing a solution to a simulation problem.

Suggested Books:

Simulation Modeling and Analysis (3rd Edition) by Law and Kelton
