Course detail

System Simulation

FSI-FSI-KAcad. year: 2010/2011

Modeling and Simulation is a discipline for developing a level of understanding of the interaction of the parts of a system, and of the system as a whole. The course is focused to continues, discrete and hybrid simulation. Modeling and Simulating by means of finite automata, cellular automata and Petri nets. Modeling and simulating complex reactive systems. Random Number Generation and Monte Carlo Methods. Design of simulation experiments, HIL simulation, visualization and verification.
