While such informal representations can be useful, a model must meet certain expectations for it to be considered within the scope of modeling and simulation for SE.

Modeling and simulation are used to study systems. A system is defined as the collection of entities that make up the facility or process of interest. To facilitate experimentation and assessment of a system, …

BIG question: Why controller designed for a model would ever work with a real system?

Discrete-event simulation: Modeling of a system as it evolves over time by a representation where the state variables change instantaneously at separated points in time

Key Modeling and Simulation Definitions There are a number of definitions of models, simulations, and modeling and simulation (M&S). For the purposes of this tutorial, we will adopt the definitions …

Recently, modelling and simulation has been slated to become the computing paradigm of the future. As a paradigm, it is a way of representing problems and thinking about them, as much as a solution …

A Linear Programming model, a Mixed Integer Linear Programming model and a nonlinear optimization model are examples of prescriptive models. When solved, these models provide a description of the …
