What is Simulation?
Modeling
• Simulation is the imitation of the operation
of a real-world process or system over
time.
• The act of simulating something
• Modeling involves observing a system,
noting the various components, then
developing a representation of the system
that will allow for further study of or
experimentation on the system
• Focus
• first requires that a model be developed
• represents the key characteristics or behaviors of
the selected physical or abstract system or
process.
• The model represents the system itself,
whereas the simulation represents the
operation of the system over time.
Simulation
• Data Structures & Implementation
• Interaction of the components

Simulation
Application
The process of running a (computer)
model of a real system to study or conduct
experiments
• Performance evaluation
• For understanding the model or its behavior
• To evaluate strategies for operation of the
system
• Involves generation of an artificial history,
used to draw conclusions about the real
system

Project
Project
A group of up to 4 students will make a
presentation to the class on a topic related to
simulation (10-15 minutes).
• All Papers MUST be selected from the following
conferences (2010-present):
• Approval of your selected paper
• Deliverables
• PADS
• Principles of Advanced and Distributed Simulation
• TOMACS
• An oral progress report in my office
• A report of 7+ pages in ACM style-double
column
• A presentation
• Presentations will be spread out over
several class periods (not all at once) with
the first being scheduled after the Nowruz
• Please begin your search for a topic
• The ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer
Simulation
• SpringSim
• Spring Simulation Multiconference
• WSC
• Winter Simulation Conference
