LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the course the student has the following knowledge:
1) The student can analyze the performance of non-Markovian systems by using discrete event simulation, including the appropriate statistical analysis of the simulation data.
2) The student can design a new random number generator for a given distribution, when a standard generator is not available.
3) The student can simulate complex multi-server queuing models that are used to model computer and communication systems.
4) The student can develop simulation programs using Mathematica.
