SDOE611 Modeling and Simulation; June 2-6, 2008

This CD is approximately 4.5 inches in diameter. Dr. Balci was associated with the Stevens Institute of Technology. SDOE stands for Systems Design and Operational Effectiveness. This CD contains the course slides and significant additional information. The purpose of this course is to teach the fundamentals of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) with emphasis on discrete M&S. The course is taught based on an M&S life cycle (a blueprint for conducting an M&S project) developed by the instructor as applicable for any area of M&S. It covers the entire M&S life cycle and teaches how to conduct a large-scale M&S project. The following topics are covered: M&S fundamentals, M&S life cycle, Verification and Validation (V&V) and Quality Assurance (QA) over the M&S life cycle. Problem Formulation. M&S Requirements Engineering. Simulation Conceptual Modeling. Architecting an M&S Application. Design of an M&S Application. Simulation Input Data Modeling. M&S Implementation / Programming. Random Number Generation. Random Variate Generation. Simulation Programming Conceptual Frameworks. M&S Application Integration. Experimentation with, Exercise or Use of an M&S Application. Presentation of M&S Project Results. Certification of an M&S Application. Storage of Certified M&S Applications. Feedback on Use of a Certified M&S Application. Principles of M&S V&V and QA. M&S Verification, Validation and Testing Techniques.…
