Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
The exams will be digital and written.The final grade is composed of
- a midterm exam (35%, open book) June 19th, 9:45, duration 60min
- a final exam (35%, open book), June 26th, duration 60 min
- a mini case-study (30%, to be worked on individually, grading based on final report)At least 50% have to be obtained for a positive grade. The grading key is as follows:
4: 50% to <63%
3: 63% to <75%
2: 75% to <87%
1: 87% to 100%Cheating during an examination will be sanctioned according to the university's constitution in its current form (i.e., the entire course will not be graded but marked as cheated and counted as one attempt). Signing for another student will be counted as cheating as well (also during homework sessions).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
At least 50% of the overall total achievable score have to be obtained for a positive grade.
The assessment is based on the students' theoretical (e.g., solving problems from queuing theory) and practical capabilities (implementing simulation models in AnyLogic) acquired throughout the course.

Examination topics
The first part of the course is mainly geared towards acquiring the necessary theoretical foundations of queuing systems and simulation in general. This also includes a primer in statistics and selected topics like random number generation and distribution fitting. The second part focuses on "hands-on" experience with the simulation software package "AnyLogic". Students will be concerned with the implementation and analysis of small queueing systems as simulation models.

Besides theoretical foundations, with a strong focus on queuing theory, the students will come into contact with a professional simulation software package (AnyLogic) based on which small examples will be implemented, run and analyzed.
