ISE-5424: Simulation I

Description: Introduction to stochastic discrete-event simulation. Theoretical foundations for stochastic simulation methodology and design, and analysis of simulation experiments. Simulation modeling and programming in general-purpose languages and using some specialized simulation software packages. Applications are drawn from various settings, such as manufacturing, financial, logistics, and service systems. Course projects on solving a real-world decision-making problem under uncertainty, each involving building a simulation model based on a case description, conducting design of simulation experiments, and performing simulation-based analysis.
