Lab # 1
INTRODUCTION AND MANUAL SIMULATION
Objective 1: Introduction to Simulation.
A comprehensive introduction to the problem of simulation is given in this lab. The students are introduced to the area by giving several examples from daily life. The different nature of simulation-based programming is emphasized. The concepts of timing and event list are illustrated through the use of relevant examples.
Introduction to the following concepts:
1. Need of simulation in real world problems.
2. Objectives attainable by simulation.
3. Use of simulation as a tool for solving complex problems in real life.
4. Different ways of simulation of problems.
5. Use of programming languages in simulation.
6. Different commercial packages like Awesim and ProModel.
7. Reliability of the results.
8. Single server queuing problem and its variations.
Objective 2: Understanding Manual Simulation.
To enable the students to perform manual simulation. This lab will guide the students in understanding the basic operations behind a simulation problem in a step-by-step process.
Things to do:
To conduct manual simulation the following is needed.
1. Define objectives of the single-server queue simulation problem.
2. Initialization of the problem.
3. Define Events and Event List.
4. Understand How to update state variables every time an event happens.
5. Understand the collection of statistics.
6. Stopping rule.
Assignment
The students are requested to perform manual simulation as given in the example from the textbook for the single server queuing model. Tables are provided for recording the stepwise change in the state variables and different parameters.
