Who should
attend?
This pre-conference workshop is designed for newcomers to
Monte Carlo and discrete-event simulation. The target audience
consists of managers, computer scientists and engineers with
programming skills, who have minimal exposure to probability,
statistics, and simulation. Familiarity with a high-level
programming language is helpful.
Why should
you attend?
Attending the workshop will help newcomers to simulation assimilate
the technical sessions presented at WSC '08. Due to the limited
time, the workshop will be very light on theory and general
notions, but heavy on intuition associated with simulation.
This will be accomplished by running through the conceptual,
algorithmic and implementation portions of the development
of several simple Monte Carlo and discrete-event simulation
models. Those implementations will then be executed and modified
during the lab times.
How does
it Work?
Participants will bring their own laptop computers; they will
download a suite of simulation programs prior to the workshop.
Participants then run and modify the programs during the lab
portions of the workshop.
You must register for the
WSC '08 conference to attend Simulation 101. The workshop
fee is $100.
Workshop schedule will be posted later.
