Learning outcomes
Knowledge of simulation and optimization software for complex systems.
Course contents
A good knowledge of the basics of Operations Research is required.
The course focuses on applying theoretical techniques of simulation and mathematical modelling studied in Operations Research to solve decision problems by software tools.
The goal is, on one hand, to let the students get a good familiarity of the simulation and optimization software, and, on the other hand, to deepen their knowledge on optimization techniques to solve complex problems.
Syllabus:
1. Review of Numerical Simulation
2. Process Interaction Simulation
3. Arena Commercial Software (use of the basic modules, statistic computation, queue analysis)
4. Review of Linear Programming and Integer Linear Programming
5. Mathematical models
6. Microsoft Excel with Excel solver (model definition and solution, sensitivity analysis)
7. AMPL Software with commercial solvers (syntax, model definition and solution)
