DSC525: Simulation Modeling and Analysis

Students learn to model and analyze complex dynamic systems using state-of-the are software such as ARENA. Illustrative application areas include production systems, service systems, distribution systems and health care systems. Topics include creating reliable simulation models, analyzing the input and output from the model and managing simulation projects. A substantial part of the course will be devoted to projects where students define, model and analyze a significant system of their choosing. (Prerequisite:  QUA 501).
