ehaviors, simplifying assumptions; validation of outcomes.
Model building: use of mathematical formula or equation, graphs,
constraints; methodologies and techniques; use of time stepping for
dynamic systems.
Formal models and modeling techniques: mathematical descriptions
involving simplifying assumptions and avoiding detail. The descriptions
use fundamental mathematical concepts such as set and function.
Random numbers. Examples of techniques including:
Monte Carlo methods
Stochastic processes
Graph structures such as directed graphs, trees, networks
Differential equations: ODE
Non-linear techniques
State spaces and transitions
Assessing and evaluating models and simulations in a variety of
contexts; verification and validation of models and simulations.
Important application areas including health care and diagnostics,
economics and finance, city and urban planning, science, and
engineering.
Software in support of simulation and modeling; packages, languages.
CN Processing Fundamental programming concepts, including:
The process of converting an algorithm to machine-executable code;
Software processes including lifecycle models, requirements, design,
implementation, verification and maintenance;
Machine representation of data computer arithmetic, and numerical
methods, specifically sequential and parallel architectures and
computations;
The basic properties of bandwidth, latency, scalability and granularity;
The levels of parallelism including task, data, and event parallelism.
