Modeling and simulation of discrete and continuous systems.

To teach you an understanding of discrete-event simulation modeling. Specific course objectives: Introductory Material Exploring the steps (and process) involved in a simulation project Collecting and computing of time-persistent and observation-based statistics Reviewing how a discrete-event calendar works for running a simulation model Discussing how random numbers are generated – uniform numbers and other stochastic distributions Building models and animations using the Simul8 simulation software Visual Logic Modeling User-Interface Simulation Optimization (OptQuest)

Class notes will be made available in the class. No additional textbook is required.
