After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

• abstract and model given systems,
• implement models using simulators,
• correctly parametrise and calibrate simulations,
• acquire and process parametrisation data,
• perform reproducible simulation experiments, and
• correctly interpret simulation results.

The lecture deals with almost all aspects of modern modeling and simulation including exemplary data aquisition, model calibration, or output visualisation. Moreover it gives a broad overview over the following modeling methods

• System Dynamics,
• Discrete Event Simulation
• Agent-based Simulation

• Frontal lecture with regular discussion with the auditorium
• Presentation of case studies
• Hands-on programming
• Supervised project work in teams

The preliminary discussion on the VU will take place on 08.03.2022, 12:00-13:00 ct. Thereafter, the lecture will always take place on Tuesday from 12:00-14:00.

The modules are partly frontal lecture, some of them also contain practical parts with hands-on programming. They prepare for a final group work in which you will solve a predefined problem using modeling and simulation. You will be asked to present the results of your work in the context of the last VU unit in June.

We expect the following expenditure of time:

21.0h   Lecture-/Exercise- units (14 x 1.5h)
  1.0h   Project release
50.0h   Project work including meetings with your supervisor
  2.5h   Preparation for project presentation
  1.5h   Project presentation
------------------------
75.0h  = 3 ECTS

Apart from units related with the project work, there is no compulsory attendance in the lecture hall. Yet, we ask you to comply with the LVA registration period.

The lecture will be administered in TUWEL.

In order to pass the lecture, students have to collaborate on a projects in groups of up to four persons.
