Simulation - Modeling and Performance Analysis with Discrete-Event Simulation

Exercise Ü1

Announcements

• On Friday, 29.06.07, there will be no class. The next class will be on Wednesday, 04.07.07 in AH 5.

Contents

This course gives an introduction to simulation techniques. The focus of the course will be on discrete event simulation. Simulation is widely used to evaluate systems in generally and computer communication networks in particular. In this course we will emphasize the simulation of communicaton networks. Some topics of the course are:

• Model design
• Preparation of simulation experiments
• Input modeling
• Random numbers and random variates
• Evaluation of simulation results
• Implementation of a discrete event simulator
