Title: Differentiate the uses of various modeling methods.
Course: Modeling and Simulation Technology (21015) > Section: Exploring Modeling and Simulation (M&S)

Differentiation should include

- discrete event simulation (DES)
- agent-based modeling (ABM)
- system dynamic modeling
- physical models.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why is it important to identify the modeling method before starting the design?
- How are the different modeling methods applied?
- How does one determine the best modeling method for a given problem (e.g., strengths, limitations)?
- When is it appropriate to use real time vs. virtual time?
