Modelling and simulation

Individual course

Max amount of FITech students: 5

Course contents

  • Discrete event simulation method
  • Pseudo random numbers and generation of random variables from given distributions
  • Steady state simulation and statistical analysis of simulation data
  • Variance reduction methods
  • Simulation of (discrete state) Markov processes and elementary birth-death processes
  • Simulation of M/G/1 queue with application to scheduling in cellular systems
  • Job dispatching problem in server farms and its simulation

After the course the student can

  • analyze the performance of non-Markovian systems by using discrete event simulation, including the appropriate statistical analysis of the simulation data.
  • design a new random number generator for a given distribution, when a standard generator is not available.
  • simulate complex multi-server queuing models that are used to model computer and communication systems.
  • develop simulation programs using Mathematica.

Completion methods

Mid-term exam, project works, home assignments

General prerequisites:
Basic course on probability and stochastic processes, in particular knowledge of Markov processes and simple queueing models is required (for example, M/M/1 and M/M/n queue). Also, good understanding of data networks and their functionality is very useful for understanding the models that are applied in the course.
