SYEN 7316 - Advanced Systems Simulation

Three hours lecture. Three credit hours.

Simulation of existing or proposed real-world systems (facilities and processes). Topics include simulation input modeling, random variant generation and stochastic models of arrival processes, statistical analysis of simulation output, variance reduction techniques, statistical design of simulation experiments and optimization of the simulation output. Monte Carlo simulation on spreadsheets, including project management, risk analysis, and reliability applications.

Prerequisites: SYEN 3312 and 3316 or equivalent, or consent of the instructor.
