CSC401 Simulation Techniques Exam 1 is scheduled to be given on Wednesday, October 13, 2010 This exam will cover Chapters 1 – 6 of the text book. It will be designed as a 1.25 hour in-class exam with a take-home component.. You will be allowed to take up to the full 100 minutes of the period. I will post the take-home portion Wednesday, October 6, on blackboard. This part will be to complete a simulation. You will be allowed to bring two pages of notes to the in-class portion of the exam. Everything you should know for the exam: Please check the assessment paper – all topics will eventually be covered and questions will appear on the midterm or final. Chapter 1 Introduction to Simulation All of first chapter should be studied for the exam. The material has good topics for exam questions: the what and how of simulation from an overall standpoint. A simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. Simulation involves the generation of an artificial history of a system and the observation of that artificial history to draw inferences concerning the operating characteristics of the real system. Develop a system model Set of assumptions concerning the operation of the system. Mathematical, logical, symbolic relationships between the entities (objects of interest) of the system. Validated system can be used to investigate what-if questions about the real-world system such as Analysis tool to predict the effect of system changes on performance Design tool to predict the performance of new systems Sometimes a model can be done analytically via mathematical techniques. Many systems are too complex for mathematical solutions and require computer-based simulation. 1.1When simulation is the appropriate tool. Study and experimentation of internal interactions of a complex system Informational, organizational, environmental changes can simulated and there effect on the model’s behavior observed. Kn
