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.
