The class is
project-oriented: participants conduct own simulation projects in
teams. The lectures
provide information about project management, presentation, and
documentation
techniques. The project teams also present their results in the
lectures.
Additionally, guest lecturers report about their experience of applying
simulation in practice.
The excercises are used for team meetings. Implementations, simulation
runs, etc. are performed at the computer science PC pool with
commercial simulation packages (AnyLogic) in reserved computer hours.
Possible projects are: simulation of the university cantine (Mensa), of
a crossing with traffic lights, or of a cluster-based Web server. Own
project ideas are possible. Alternatively, an integrated simulation
environment can be developed.
