[diese Seite auf deutsch ]

Contents

Foundations of discrete-event simulation: goals, kinds, and limits of simulation, modeling paradigms (queueing systems, Petri nets, simulation languages), stochastic concepts, simulation input and output analysis, event list processing, random variate generation, simulation languages and tools, simulation of manufacturing and material handling systems, simulation of computer and communication systems.

Language

All documents are written in English, the lecture is in English. Exercise classes are offered both in english and german language.

Time and Place

Lecture: Wednesdays, 8 - 10, H4
Exercise Classes (germ.): Thursdays, 8 - 10, 2.038 (Rechenzentrum)
Exercise Classes (engl.): Fridays, 10 - 12, 00.151
Supervised Computer Hours: Thursdays, 10 - 12, 01.155 (CIP-Pool 1st floor)

Everey week either exercise classes or supervised computer hours are offered. Only in the second week both exercises and supervised computer hours are offered. During the supervised computer hours you can work on the practical exercises (labs) . A teaching assistant will be present. If no teaching assistant is present, you can discuss your questions with Mr. Kai-Steffen Hielscher (room 4.139) during the scheduled computer hours. After you have solved all exercises, you can take an exam (Klausur) to obtain the certificate (Schein). Topics of the lecture are practised in the exercise classes. The dates at which exercise classes or supervised computer hours (marked by X ) are scheduled can be seen in the following table.
