IS 705 - Simulation and Visualization

[3]

In order to efficiently manage and operate many of the systems that pervade our lives, it is often necessary to apply simulation to study their performance when closed-form analytical solutions do not exist for such problems. This cource deals with discrete-event systems such as transportation networks, event scheduling, and pollution control systems. Topics will include modeling techniques (including information visualization and object-oriented modeling), random number generation, discrete-event simulation approaches, model validation and simulation software.
