The second part of this course introduces the field of computer-based simulation with a focus primarily on discrete-event modeling methods in which the state of the model is dynamic and the state of the model changes only at countable, distinct points in time. Also, the system being modeled is considered as a process, i.e. a sequence of operations being performed across entities. Cases in manufacturing, telecommunications, transportation, military and health care will be used. The models will be analyzed using SAS/OPTMODEL and Simulation Studio software.
