課程概述

This class focuses on discrete-event simulation and Monte Carlo simulation. Examples of discrete-event systems are all around us: multiteller banks; computer networks; automated manufacturing systems; airport terminals; and traffic control systems. In order to efficiently manage and operate these systems, it is often necessary to apply simulation to study their performance since no closed-form analytical solutions exist for such problems. This course deals with this category of systems. Topics will include stochastic modeling, random number generators, discrete-event simulation approaches, simulated data analysis, and simulation variance reduction techniques. Simulation software packages are extensively used in this class. 

課程目標
Each student is expected to produce successful simulations.

參考書目
TEXTBOOK:
THREE OPTIONAL BOOKS:

TEXT 1: C. H. CHEN AND L. H. LEE, “STOCHASTIC SIMULATION OPTIMIZATION: AN OPTIMAL COMPUTING BUDGET ALLOCATION,” 2010. PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS. YOU CAN ORDER IT FROM THE UNIVERSITY BOOK STORE OR AMAZON.COM.

TEXT 2: W. D. KELTON, R. P. SADOWSKI, AND D. T. STURROCK, "SIMULATION WITH ARENA," 5TH EDITION, 2010. YOU MAY HAVE A QUESTION WHETHER YOU NEED TO BUY THIS BOOK. ARENA IS THE MAJOR SIMULATION SOFTWARE USED IN THIS CLASS. SINCE ARENA IS VERY POWERFUL, MANY EARLIER STUDENTS USED IT TO DO THEIR TERM PROJECTS. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT EACH PROJECT TEAM BUYS AT LEAST ONE COPY OF THIS BOOK. IF YOU CAN NOT FIND THE 5TH EDITION AS SUGGESTED, THE 2ND, 3RD, OR 4TH EDITION OF THIS BOOK IS FINE TOO. BUT THE 1ST EDITION IS TOO OBSOLETE FOR THIS CLASS.

TEXT 3: A. M. LAW, "SIMULATION MODELING & ANALYSIS," 4TH ED., 2007. (ALL EARLIER EDITIONS ARE FINE)

TEXTBOOK RECOMMENDATION: THERE ARE THREE RECOMMENDED BOOKS. IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THE BOOKS ARE EXPENSIVE.
O TEXT1 GIVES AN INTRODUCTION TO SIMULATION AND FOCUSES ON THE USE OF SIMULATION FOR OPTIMIZATION. TEXT1 IS ALSO THE REQUIRED TEXT FOR THE ADVANCED SIMULATION CLASS WHICH WILL BE OFFERED IN THE FUTURE.
O TEXT2 IS AN EXCELLENT USER MANUAL FOR CURRENT VERSION OF ARENA, BUT MAY BECOME OBSOLETE IN THE FUTURE, OR IF YOU ARE NOT USING ARENA. IT IS RECOMMENDED EACH PROJECT TEAM BUYS A COPY.
O TEXT3 GIVES A COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE ON THE SIMULATION FUNDAMENTALS.
