Simulation - autumn 2017
The Simulation course is given in Autumn 2017 (starting on October 24th). See
Korppi for details.
The lectures are in English and will hopefully be at least partially updated from the previous instances. However, as a back up, the materials from
the previous instance are also available. (The previous instance contains links to older versions (2012 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 simulation packages/libraries
(like JavaSim, JaamSim, OES, SimPy or Desmo-J, see below). The exercises are preferably to be done in small groups (2-3 persons).
