Course syllabus IV1200 (Autumn 2012–)-basic concepts in discrete event simulation (DES)
- classification of simulation models
- design of discrete-Event Simulation (DES)
- random number generation
- Input data modeling
- verification and validation of simulation models
- output data analysis
- introduction to parallel and distributed simulation
- introduction to design of experiments
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
- A Programming course as ID1004 Objectoriented Programming 7.5 hp or an equivalent course
- SF1901 Probability Theory and Statistics 6 hp or an equivalent course

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