Apply the basic concepts of computer modeling and simulation to discrete event simulation systems for decision support. Combine general purpose languages such as JAVA and special simulation packages such as OPNET simulator to evaluate the simulation study. Use basic probability concepts such as random variables, mean value, variance and probability distributions. Infer the measures of effectiveness in real systems, and then design an appropriate model to improve the system performance. Deal with different aspects of modeling and simulation applications in industry. Use effectively communication skills. Carry out a self-learning and research in computing and information field. Develop and evaluate the sequence of components related to computer simulation (problem statement, data acquisition, model design, simulation experiment, verification, techniques and methods in different industrial and research applications.

This course provides an introductory treatment of the concepts and methods of modeling-discrete-event simulation. The students begin to learn how to do manual simulators with extensive examples through spread sheets. Many mathematical and statistical models are discussed including queueing models. The techniques of random number generation are introduced. The analysis of simulation data are presented including the input modeling, verification and validation models, and output analysis model.
