This course focuses on introducing modeling and simulation of different types of systems, its validation, verification and analysis of simulation output. It also emphasizes on random number and queuing theory.

To make students understand the concept of simulation and modeling of real time systems.

Practical should include the simulation of some real time systems (continuous and discrete event systems), Queuing Systems, study of Simulation Tools and Language.
