Python and SimPy in Simulation Modeling

This document outlines the course objectives, outcomes, syllabus, and references for a simulation course. The course objectives are to introduce simulation modeling techniques and provide preliminary exposure to the GPSS simulation language. By the end of the course, students will be able to understand the simulation experimentation process, interpret and analyze simulation results, and develop simulation models using GPSS. The syllabus covers topics like random number generation, queuing theory, and introduces the Python SimPy simulation library. Laboratory activities focus on skill development using tools like GPSS World and Python to simulate queuing systems and reinforce concepts.
