Introduction to modeling and simulation: Modeling and simulation methodology, system
modeling , concept of simulation, continuous and discrete time simulation.
Basic concept of probability and random variables continuous and discrete random
variables, distribution of random variables: discrete and continuous, Compartmental

diagrams and flow diagrams, equation writing, level and rate relationship. Simulation of
system dynamics models.
Verification and validation: Design of simulation experiments, validation of experimental
models, testing and analysis. Simulation languages comparison and selection, study of
Simulation sw -SIMULA, DYNAMO, STELLA, POWERSIM.
