The main focus of this course is to
understand the key performance metrics and parameters used for evaluating
computer networks which include topics like:
principles and
methods for simulating computer networks and data communications, random number
generation to model different traffic types, simulation of queuing models,
simulating real operating networks, comparing the performance of networks using
different scenarios, understand computer
simulation needs, implement and test a variety of simulation and data analysis
libraries and programs, understand tools to view and control simulations and
their results, understand and apply display forms such as tables, graphs, and
multidimensional visualization, comparing
two systems and screening problems.
