ISIS-2404 MODELING, SIMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION

This course provides skills and knowledge to use mathematical, informatics and technological tools for designing, building, and validating models that solve complex problems. These problems are characterized by having a solution space so big that exhaustive search cannot be used to find an optimal answer; having multiple, conflicting restrictions and objectives; and involving dynamic and/or multidisciplinary environments. Once a model is built using adequate formalisms, it is validated using analytical methods or simulations. Once validated, the behavior of the model is analyzed to find a solution to the problem. Optimization techniques are also applied to improve the performance of the models or to better approximate the solution
