Simulation and Modeling: Dr. Mohammad Hanif Ali Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Jahangirnagar University

Simulation involves imitating or modeling the behavior of a real-world system over time. A system can be any collection of interacting entities, like people or machines, working towards a common goal. A model is a simplified representation or description of a system used to study and understand how it operates. Simulation uses a mathematical model of a system to run experiments on a computer and obtain information about how the real system might behave. Key components of any system include entities, attributes, activities, state, and events.

Simulation and Modeling

Dr. Mohammad Hanif Ali Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Jahangirnagar University

What is Simulation?
Copy the behavior of a system Imitation of a system Make similar

What is System?
Collection of entities(people or machine), that act and interact together toward the accomplishment of some logical end. Example: Computer

Any Method, Process, Technique, & Organization are also system.

What is Model?
Representation of a system Simplified description of a system Logical description of how a system perform A collection of pertinent information about a system To study real world facility or process scientifically we often have to make a set of assumptions about how it works. These assumptions, which usually takes the form of mathematical or logical relations, constitute a model. The model is used to try to gain some understanding of how the corresponding system behaves.

More about simulation


The mathematical representation of the interaction of the real world object. A simulation is the execution of a model, represented by a computer program that gives information about the system being investigated. Simulation is a numerical technique for conducting experiments on a digital computer, which involves certain types of mathematical and logical models that describe the behavior of the system.

A mathematical model to be studied by means of simulation is referred to as simulation model.

Components of a System
Entity: Denoted by an object of the system Attribute: Property of an entity (many attributes) Activity: Any process that causes changes in the system State: Collection of variables necessary to describe a system at a particular time, relative to the objectives of the system Event: Instantaneous occurance that may change the state of the system
