Synopsis

This  unit  enables  students to explore advanced  systems  modelling
strategies  commonly  used  in  the  development,  modification,  and
understanding  of  complex  industrial  and  business  processes  and
practices.  Emphasis is placed upon the representation and  modelling
of stochastic processes using discrete event, continuous, and dynamic
methodologies.  The  major  focus of the unit  will  be  placed  upon
validation,  and interpretation of the outputs of systems  simulation
models.  Students  may use high level languages  such  as  ARENA  and
SIMSCRIPT in their investigations.
