Simulation - spring 2016
The Simulation course is given in Spring 2016 (starting on March 16th). See
Korppi for details.
The lectures are in English. The materials will be partially upgraded
from those of the
spring 2014 instance. (The previous instance contains links to 2012 version in Finnish as well).
Contents
- Simulation and modelling
- Different paradigms for discrete event simulation
- Event oriented simulation
- Object oriented simulation
- Random numbers
- Monte Carlo and basic statistical analysis
- Transients and steady states
- Variance reduction
- Regression and metamodelling
The course will include exercises that require operating with some Java-based simulation packages/libraries
(like JavaSim or Desmo-J, see below). The exercises are preferably to be done in small groups (2-3 persons).
