This is a course in performance modeling for users of the CSIM17 simulation
language. After a brief overview of CSIM17, participants will learn techniques
for creating, parameterizing, and analyzing simulation models of complex systems.
This course is intended both for persons new to performance modeling and CSIM
as well as for experienced performance analysts who wish to broaden their knowledge
of modeling techniques. Familiarity with either C or C++ is expected, but no
prior experience with CSIM is necessary.
This is a two and a half day course consisting of lectures, class discussion,
in-class problem solving, and hands-on experience using CSIM17.
The fee for this couse is $875.
Participants receive a book containing copies of all slides used in the class,
an extensive bibliography of performance evaluation literature, and problems
and lab exercises.
