چکیده
WITNESS is a VISM system [3] or simulator as Law & Kelton [4] call it. Produced by Lanner Group, it claims to be the world’s leading software product in the field of visual interactive simulation. The version used for teaching is the educational version which has the full functionality of the proper version but is restricted to a smaller number of elements. Both discrete and continuous systems can be modelled, but our course is concerned with discrete systems only.

متن کاملIdentifying Good Practice in Teaching and Learning in MSOR
A report on good practice in the first of these areas was given in the last Connections [2]; here the second is considered. Student mentoring and peertutoring as aids to learning can confer considerable benefits to all concerned; assessment, both formative and summative, can support and encourage student learning; effective delivery of transferable skills can promote students’ personal developm...
متن کاملA Framework for Web-based E-Learning of Discrete Event Simulation Concepts
This paper describes selected e-learning materials developed as part of a cooperative simulationsupported learning initiative for university courses on discrete event simulation. These materials include Java applets for teaching general simulation concepts, as well as a web tutorial and an Internet-hosted simulation laboratory which teaches how to use a simulation framework in Java. 1 Motivatio...
