Simulation Operations Assessment #1 Flashcards
A mathmatical or computational model whose output variable changes in a continuous manner; that is, state (dependent) variables change in continuous manner.
Continuous Simulation
A model of system in which there is a change, such as the occurrence of events over time or the movement of objects through space.
Dynamic Simulation
A model of a system in which there is no change over time.
Static Simulation
A simulation that does not contain any probalisitc (random) components is know as?
Deterministic Simulation
The use of computer simulation to obtain approximate solutions to mathematical or physical problems, especially values, each of which has a calculate probability of being the solution is know as what type of simulation?
Monte Carlo Simulation
What is the definition of an element?
Building block of a system that can be also considered separately, having its own properties and features.
What is a model
A model is a simplification of reality
What is a process model
A model that models the processes performed by a system.
What defines the structure of a system
The elements of a system and their interactions
A stochastic simulation is:
A collection of random variable ordered overtime which are defined on a common sample space.
A ___________ physical, mathematical, or otherwise logical representation of a system, entity, phenomenon, or process.
Model
A ___________ is a method for implementing a model over time.
Simulation
Three components of a system theory
Throughputs, Outputs, Inputs.
A _________is a flat plane figure with multiple side, the basic building blocks of the virtual worlds. The more polygons a computer can display and manipulate per second, the more realistic the virtual world will appear.

Interoperability
When developing or changing a database, the development of the purpose/goal of the database is not necessary for the data base to be useful
False
_________ Will look at a system as a whole and focus on the behavior of elements in their interconnectivity within the system
Holism
All models and simulations have ________because they are always simpler than reality
Limitations
In a system___________are constant throughout the process
