Handbook

In today’s complex environment, Modelling and Simulation (M&S) applications are widely used in various disciplines and domains (e.g. defence, business, public policy) to support many decision making and education areas, including: problem solving, research, training, and acquisition.

Large scale M&S applications are typically developed through large complex projects. These projects involve multiple teams with different organizational and technical knowledge and skills, who contribute to different aspects and phases of the development process, such as project management, technical development, and training.

Building knowledge and skills related to M&S application is an essential for those who are interested to get involved in various aspects of M&S application projects.

This course (6 UoC) provides ‘know-how’ knowledge and skills for developing and using M&S applications. This is achieved by offering the following: fundamental and generic (technique and domain non-specific) understanding of M&S applications, an integrated view of M&S application development (i.e. theory, methodology, case studies), a practice-oriented focus (i.e. problem solving exercises, showcases), and a learning by doing experience (i.e. project-based assignment).
