This article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. Please help with a. (October 2009) () Modeling and simulation ( M&S) is the use of –,, or otherwise of a, entity, phenomenon, or process – as a basis for – methods for implementing a model (either statically or) over time – to develop data as a basis for managerial or technical through the exercise of which covers analysis, experimentation, and training.
As such, M&S can facilitate understanding a system's behavior without actually testing the system in the real world. For instance, to determine which type of spoiler would improve traction the most while designing a race car, a of the car could be used to estimate the effect of different spoiler shapes on the coefficient of friction in a turn.
Useful insights about different decisions in the design could be gleaned without actually building the car. In addition, simulation can support experimentation that occurs totally in software, or in human-in-the-loop environments where simulation represents systems or generates data needed to meet experiment objectives. Furthermore, simulation can be used to train persons using a virtual environment that would otherwise be difficult or expensive to produce. The use of M&S within is well recognized. Simulation technology belongs to the tool set of engineers of all application domains and has been included in the of. M&S helps to, increase the quality of products and systems, and document and archive lessons learned. M&S is a discipline on its own.
Its many application domains often lead to the assumption that M&S is pure application. This is not the case and needs to be recognized by engineering management experts who want to use M&S. To ensure that the results of simulation are applicable to the real world, the engineering manager must understand the assumptions, conceptualizations, and implementation constraints of this emerging field.

Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • Interest in simulations [ ] Technically, simulation is well accepted. The 2006 (NSF) Report on 'Simulation-based Engineering Science' showed the potential of using simulation technology and methods to revolutionize the engineering science. Among the reasons for the steadily increasing interest in simulation applications are the following: • Using simulations is generally cheaper, safer and sometimes more ethical than conducting real-world experiments. For example, are sometimes used to simulate the detonation of nuclear devices and their effects in order to support better preparedness in the event of a.
Similar efforts are conducted to simulate hurricanes and other natural catastrophes. See also: • Simulations can often be even more realistic than traditional experiments, as they allow the free configuration of environment parameters found in the operational application field of the final product. Examples are supporting deep water operation of the US Navy or the simulating the surface of neighbored planets in preparation of. • Simulations can often be conducted faster than. This allows using them for efficient analyses of different alternatives, in particular when the necessary data to initialize the simulation can easily be obtained from operational data. This use of simulation adds decision support simulation systems to the tool box of traditional. • Simulations allow setting up a coherent that allows for integration of simulated systems in the early analysis phase via mixed virtual systems with first prototypical components to a virtual for the final system.
If managed correctly, the environment can be migrated from the development and test domain to the training and education domain in follow-on life cycle phases for the systems (including the option to train and optimize a virtual twin of the real system under realistic constraints even before first components are being built). The military and defense domain, in particular within the United States, has been the main M&S champion, in form of funding as well as application of M&S. E.g., M&S in modern organizations is part of the / strategy. Specifically, M&S is used to conduct Events and Experiments that influence requirements and training for military systems. As such, M&S is considered an integral part of of military systems. Other application domains, however, are currently catching up.
M&S in the fields of medicine, transportation, and other industries is poised to rapidly outstrip DoD's use of M&S in the years ahead, if it hasn't already happened. Simulation in science [ ].
How modeling extends the at the base of research As an emerging discipline [ ] 'The emerging discipline of M&S is based on developments in diverse computer science areas as well as influenced by developments in,,,, and more. This foundation is as diverse as that of engineering management and brings elements of art, engineering, and science together in a complex and unique way that requires domain experts to enable appropriate decisions when it comes to application or development of M&S technology in the context of this paper. The diversity and application-oriented nature of this new discipline sometimes results in the challenge, that the supported application domains themselves already have vocabularies in place that are not necessarily aligned between disjunctive domains. A comprehensive and concise representation of concepts, terms, and activities is needed that make up a professional Body of Knowledge for the M&S discipline. Due to the broad variety of contributors, this process is still ongoing.' Padilla et al.
Recommend in 'Do we Need M&S Science' to distinguish between M&S Science, Engineering, and Applications. • M&S Science contributes to the Theory of M&S, defining the academic foundations of the discipline. • M&S Engineering is rooted in Theory but looks for applicable solution patterns. The focus is general methods that can be applied in various problem domains. • M&S Applications solve real world problems by focusing on solutions using M&S. Often, the solution results from applying a method, but many solutions are very problem domain specific and are derived from problem domain expertise and not from any general M&S theory or method.
Models can be composed of different units (models at finer granularity) linked to achieve a specific goal; for this reason they can be also called. More generally, modeling and simulation is a key enabler for systems engineering activities as the system representation in a computer readable (and possibly executable) model enables engineers to reproduce the system (or Systems of System) behavior. A collection of applicative modeling and simulation method to support systems engineering activities in provided in.
In pharmacy education [ ] The shortage of in the United States has prompted increases in class sizes and the number of satellite and distance-learning programs at colleges and schools of pharmacy. This rapid expansion has created a burden on existing clinical experimental sites. The Accreditation Council on Pharmacy Education (ACPE) requires at least 1440 hours of advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE); included among the 1440 hours of APPE, the ACPE requires colleges and schools of pharmacy to provide a minimum of 300 hours of introductory pharmacy practice experience (IPPE) interspersed throughout the first three years of the pharmacy curriculum. Simulation training may be one such model to provide students with the opportunity to apply didactic knowledge and reduce the burden on experiential sites.The inclusion of simulation in IPPEs has gained acceptance and is encouraged by ACPE as described in the Policies and Procedures for ACPE Accreditation of Professional Degree Programs – January 2010. Addendum 1.3, Simulations for Introductory Pharmacy Practices Experiences – Approved June 2010, states: Simulation may not be utilized to supplant or replace the minimum expectation for time spent in actual pharmacy practice settings as set forth in the previously established policy. Beyond the majority of time in actual pharmacy practice settings, colleges and schools may utilize simulation to account for no greater than 20% (e.g., 60 hours of a 300-hour IPPE program) of total IPPE time. Several pharmacy colleges and schools have incorporated simulation as part of their core curricula.
At the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy, high-fidelity patient simulators are used to reinforce therapeutics. While the University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy integrated their simulation program into their pharmacology and medicinal chemistry coursework; and was the first college of pharmacy to purchase a high-fidelity patient simulator. Some pharmacy colleges and schools host virtual reality and full environment simulation programs.
For example, Purdue University School of Pharmacy and the university's Envision Center for Data Perceptualization collaborated with the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) to create a virtual clean room that is USP 797 standards compliant. Application domains [ ] There are many categorizations possible, but the following taxonomy has been very successfully used in the, and is currently applied to and as well.
• Analyses Support is conducted in support of planning and experimentation. Very often, the search for an optimal solution that shall be implemented is driving these efforts. What-if analyses of alternatives fall into this category as well. This style of work is often accomplished by simulysts - those having skills in both simulation and as analysts. This blending of simulation and analyst is well noted in Kleijnen. [ ] • Systems Engineering Support is applied for the procurement, development, and testing of systems. This support can start in early phases and include topics like executable system architectures, and it can support testing by providing a virtual environment in which tests are conducted.
This style of work is often accomplished by engineers and architects. • Training and Education Support provides simulators, environments, and to train and educate people. This style of work is often accomplished by trainers working in concert with computer scientists. A special use of Analyses Support is applied to ongoing business operations. Traditionally, decision support systems provide this functionality. Simulation systems improve their functionality by adding the dynamic element and allow to compute estimates and predictions, including optimization and what-if analyses. Individual concepts [ ].
Further information: Although the terms 'modeling' and 'simulation' are often used as synonyms within disciplines applying M&S exclusively as a tool, within the discipline of M&S both are treated as individual and equally important concepts. Is understood as the purposeful abstraction of reality, resulting in the formal specification of a conceptualization and underlying assumptions and constraints. M&S is in particular interested in models that are used to support the implementation of an executable version on a computer.
The execution of a model over time is understood as the simulation. While modeling targets the, challenges mainly focus on, in other words, modeling resides on the abstraction level, whereas simulation resides on the implementation level. Conceptualization and implementation – modeling and simulation – are two activities that are mutually dependent, but can nonetheless be conducted by separate individuals. Management and engineering knowledge and guidelines are needed to ensure that they are well connected. Like an engineering management professional in systems engineering needs to make sure that the systems design captured in a systems architecture is aligned with the systems development, this task needs to be conducted with the same level of professionalism for the model that has to be implemented as well.
As the role of big data and analytics continues to grow, the role of combined simulation of analysis is the realm of yet another professional called a simulyst – in order to blend algorithmic and analytic techniques through visualizations available directly to decision makers. A study designed for the Bureau of Labor and Statistics by Lee et al.
Provides an interesting look at how bootstrap techniques (statistical analysis) were used with simulation to generate population data where there existed none. Academic programs [ ] Modeling and simulation has only recently become an academic discipline of its own. Formerly, those working in the field usually had a background in engineering.
