About the course
Aim
The main idea of the course is to deepen the knowledge in discrete-event simulation and to apply that knowledge to real-life situations by working in project groups on practical cases. After completed course students will be able to:
- Identify and formulate problems that can be solved using discrete-event simulation
- Independently carry out real-life simulation projects
- Document and present the results of a simulation project
Content
Students can choose to analyze a system in any of the application areas of discrete-event simulation, e.g. production or logistics. Lectures will cover common topics for all projects, such as problem structuring, data analysis, verification and validation of simulation models, experimentation, etc. Project groups will also be responsible for acquiring additional knowledge about the chosen application area.
