Topic
Models are simplifying abstract representations of real systems, simulations are (mostly/always) computer-aided experiments, based upon a model. To understand, predict and optimize the behavior of a system more efficient and expressive simulations are necessary. Corresponding to the immense variety of modelling, as well as to-be-modeled systems (e.g. climate, weather, chemical or biological reactions, crash-tests, stock prices, scheduling, traffic, traffic in computing systems, software systems) a wide range of fundamentally different mathematical and informatical methods is used. Those can be deterministic or stochastic, discrete or numeric, but also less formal methods, as textual or graphic descriptions (e.g diagrams). Nevertheless there exist various general principles, e.g. for the derivation, analysis or evaluation of a model.
In this lecture an introduction to mathematical-informatical modeling is given. Hereby various topics are discussed. This includes model classes, the choice of proper instruments to formally describe a model, the derivation of models, as well as properties of models.
Multiple examples of discrete models and simulation methods (Decision theory, scheduling, discrete event simulation), as well as examples of continuous models and their simulation techniques (population dynamics, control theory, traffic simulations, heat conduction) from a wide range of scientific backgrounds are presented. Hereby the necessary tools, the derivation of the model, and its realization in a simulation are elaborated.
This lecture shines light on these topics in the context of computer science. The necessary mathematical contents are discussed; this course does not require the students to have any prior knowledge that exceed the undergraduate level.
