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 …

Modeling and simulation help determine the viability of concepts and provide insight into expected system performance. For example, before constructing a retail outlet, customer demand can be …

Modeling is a way to create a virtual representation of a real-world system that includes software and hardware. Simulation is used to evaluate a new design, diagnose problems with an existing design, …

Today, modeling and simulation is more important than at any time in our nation’s history to provide the critical technology baseline and distributed infrastructure necessary to solve the myriad of serious …

In this Web site we study computer systems modeling and simulation. We need a proper knowledge of both the techniques of simulation modeling and the simulated systems themselves. The scenario …

BIG question: Why controller designed for a model would ever work with a real system?

While such informal representations can be useful, a model must meet certain expectations for it to be considered within the scope of modeling and simulation for SE.
