Advanced Simulation

Catalog description

This course is intended as an advanced course in simulation modeling for complex systems. This is a project- and research-oriented course designed to give graduate students a foundation from which to explore areas of their own interest. Focused topics include techniques in simulation model design, advanced techniques for output data analysis, comparing alternative system designs, variance reduction techniques, design of experiments for simulation modeling, simulation-based optimization, agent-based and distributed simulation, and continuous process simulation. Prerequisites: SSIE 520 or equivalent, and knowledge of at least one programming language.
