  2. Computer simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_simulation

    Computer simulation is the process of mathematical modelling, performed on a computer, which is designed to predict the behaviour of, or the outcome of, a real-world or physical system. The reliability of some mathematical models can be determined by comparing their results to the real-world outcomes they aim to predict.

  3. Simulation software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_software

    Simulation software is based on the process of modeling a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually performing that operation. Simulation software is used widely to design equipment so that the final product will be as close ...

  4. Simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation

    v. t. e. A simulation is an imitative representation of a process or system that could exist in the real world. [1] [2] [3] In this broad sense, simulation can often be used interchangeably with model. [2] Sometimes a clear distinction between the two terms is made, in which simulations require the use of models; the model represents the key ...

  5. Modeling and simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modeling_and_simulation

    Modeling and simulation ( M&S) is the use of models (e.g., physical, mathematical, behavioral, or logical representation of a system, entity, phenomenon, or process) as a basis for simulations to develop data utilized for managerial or technical decision making. [1] [2]

  6. Computer science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science

    Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation. [1] [2] [3] Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to applied disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software ). [4] [5] [6]

  7. Discrete-event simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete-event_simulation

    A discrete-event simulation ( DES) models the operation of a system as a ( discrete) sequence of events in time. Each event occurs at a particular instant in time and marks a change of state in the system. [1] Between consecutive events, no change in the system is assumed to occur; thus the simulation time can directly jump to the occurrence ...

  8. Network simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_simulation

    In computer network research, network simulation is a technique whereby a software program replicates the behavior of a real network. This is achieved by calculating the interactions between the different network entities such as routers, switches, nodes, access points, links, etc. [1] Most simulators use discrete event simulation in which the ...

  9. Computer engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_engineering

    Computer engineering. Computer engineering ( CoE or CpE) is a branch of computer science and electronic engineering that integrates several fields of computer science and electronic engineering required to develop computer hardware and software. [1] Computer engineering is referred to as computer science and engineering at some universities.
