Discrete Event Simulation – Modelling and Simulation of Computer Networks

چکیده
This article introduces the course Discrete Event Simulation – Modelling and Simulation of Computer Networks which was recently developed at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The course is developed as part of the Tempus IV project – Modernization of Master Program Networks and Communication. The course has become very popular at TUM since it provides students with a sophisticated theoretical and practical background in statistic fundamentals and simulation which gives them a clear advantage for their MA thesis. The course is divided into 12 to 14 lectures with duration of 90 minutes each. Furthermore, 10 exercises, each with duration of approx. 60 minutes, are also part of the course. In addition, two tutorials are given at the end of the course in which the students learn to use state-of-the-art simulation and evaluation software. The target group of the course is represented by master students. The students get 4 ECTS credits for the course if they successfully pass 6 of the 10 exercises and the oral exam (approx. 20 minutes) at the end of the semester.

A discrete-event optimization framework for mixed-speed train timetabling problem
Railway scheduling is a complex task of rail operators that involves the generation of a conflict-free train timetable. This paper presents a discrete-event simulation-based optimization approach for solving the train timetabling problem to minimize total weighted unplanned stop time in a hybrid single and double track railway networks. The designed simulation model is used as a platform for ge...
متن کاملOptimal design of supply chain network under uncertainty environment using hybrid analytical and simulation modeling approach
Models that aim to optimize the design of supply chain networks have gained more interest in the supply chain literature. Mixed-integer linear programming and discrete-event simulation are widely used for such an optimization problem. We present a hybrid approach to support decisions for supply chain network design using a combination of analytical and discrete-event simulation models. The prop...

Resource planning in large-scale construction projects has been a complicated management issue requiring mechanisms to facilitate decision making for managers. In the present study, a computer-aided simulation model is developed based on concurrent control of resources and revenue/expenditure. The proposed method responds to the demand of resource management and scheduling in shell material emb...
متن کاملModeling and Evaluation of Stochastic Discrete-Event Systems with RayLang Formalism
In recent years, formal methods have been used as an important tool for performance evaluation and verification of a wide range of systems. In the view points of engineers and practitioners, however, there are still some major difficulties in using formal methods. In this paper, we introduce a new formal modeling language to fill the gaps between object-oriented programming languages (OOPLs) us...

متن کاملIranian Railway System Performance Analysis Using Computer Simulation and Data Envelopment Analysis Methods
In this paper, a discrete event simulation model of Iranian railway system is used for analyzing performance of the system in freight sector. The model analysis shows more sensitivity of the system on loading and unloading facilities than on number of wagons and locomotives. System optimization through simulation optimization technique, shows that more than 4% of all wagons available in the n...
