CSCD 423 — Software Modeling and Simulation

Computer Science · University of Ghana

This course will introduce students to the general principles of simulation model design and concepts of the computer simulation. The course introduces mathematical and statistical models, simulation languages, gives a thorough review of queuing systems and a hands-on experience with the object-oriented simulation. Applications of simulation methods and techniques are focused mainly on the area of computer science. ProModel for Windows will be used for projects including production systems, inventory, finance, and transportation. Statistical analysis of simulation input/output data, model validation, design of simulation experiments, and optimization are also covered. Emphasis is placed on the study and development of models of computer systems. Both analytical and discrete-event simulation models are studied. Data gathered from actual systems is used to parameterize and validate these models. Use of models to predict system performance is discussed.
