Course Objectives

1. To apply system concepts to solve problems in industrial and business organizations.


2. To model and simulate discrete event systems.
3. To study the tools for modeling and simulating dynamic systems.

Syllabus

Introduction to System Simulation – Random Numbers – Random number generators – Generation


of Random deviates – Input modeling – Verification and validation of simulation models - Analysis
of Simulation outputs - Structure and Behavior of Dynamic systems – Tools for systems thinking –
Elements of system dynamics modeling – Steps in SD modeling – Overview of computer simulation
languages and packages.

Expected Outcome
1. The student will have an understanding of real life systems with interacting components,
elements and sub-systems, modeling and analysis of these interacting components and
elements in a system and the system as a whole.
2. The student will be able to conduct experiments on the system models and to predict the
system behavior at different environments and input states and parameter settings and to
find out the best suited system parameter settings to meet the predefined objectives.
