Course content
Real-time/on-line simulation (operational planning - reactive versus pro-active approach). Agent-based architecture of simulation models (decomposition of the model into autonomous components, differences in comparison with event-driven and process-driven architectures). Application of artificial intelligence within simulation of systems. Petri nets (P/T Petri nets, coloured Petri nets, formal description related to components of simulation model). Distributed simulation (conservative and optimistic synchronization methods). HLA architecture of distributed simulation models (federate, Federation, RTI, model FOM, Model SOM). DIS- distributed interactive simulation (IEEE standard).

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Skills training
Learning outcomes
The main goal of the course is to familiarize students with advanced techniques and approaches of discrete simulation on digital computers as well as with exploitations of those experimental methods within the frame of different application domains.
Passing the course enables to manage advanced simulation techniques and design & construction of simulation models.
Prerequisites
There is expected elementary knowledge from the fields of discrete simulation, mathematical statistics and theory of probability.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination, Home assignment evaluation

Given assignment approves that a student attended lessons in a required scale and fulfilled qualified requirements (elaboration of simulation models focused on training of specific simulation techniques).
