Intended learning outcomes

This understanding means that after the course you should be able to

1.- Define basic concepts in modeling and simulation (M&S)

2. Classify various simulation models and give practical examples for each category

3. Construct a model for a given set of data and motivate its validity

4. Generate and test random number variates and apply them to develop simulation models

5. Analyze output data produced by a model and test validity of the model

6. Explain parallel and distributed simulation methods

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

• LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 3,0 hp, betygsskala: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 4,5 hp, betygsskala: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Other requirements for final grade

The course consists of a theoretical and a practical part.
The theoretical part gives 4.5 credits and is assessed by a written exam, with grades A-F. You must fulfill objectives 1 -4 above to get a pass grade. In addition, for higher grades you must fulfill objectives 5 and 6.
The practical part gives 3 credits. This part consists of two project assignments. The grade for this part is pass or fail.

Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination

Ethical approach

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
