Simulation
Is the process of designing a model of a real system and conducting experiments
with this model for the purpose of either understanding the behavior
:Allows us to
Model complex systems in a detailed way ►
Describe the behavior of systems ►
Construct theories or hypotheses that account for ►
the observed behavior
Use the model to predict future behavior, that is, the ►
effects that will be produced by changes in the system
Analyze proposed systems ►
