CS1011 SYSTEM MODELING AND SIMULATION

AIM
To build knowledge on system modeling and system study on various applications.
OBJECTIVES
• To provide a strong foundation on concept of simulation, and modeling.
• To understand the techniques of random number generations.
• To understand the techniques of testing randomness.
• To design simulation models for various case studies like inventory, traffic flow networks, etc.
• To practice on simulation tools and impart knowledge on building simulation systems.
