Simulation and Modeling

Assignment 6: CSci 4210/6210 Term Project

Use simulation to study/solve a problem in science, engineering or business. Develop a model to make predictions that are testable from collected data. Animation must be used to show the behavior of the simulated system. The simulation may be interactive (even game-like), but should serve the purpose of addressing some problem or gaining insight into phenomena.

Required:

• Java/Scala Source Code.

• Javadoc/Scaladoc Generated Documentation.

• ReadMe File.

• 30-Minute Power-Point Presentation (PowerPoint Slides in both electronic and hardcopy forms).
  • Includes an extensive demo.

• Project Paper (4-5 pages).

Types of Projects:

1. Discrete Event Simulation including 2D/3D Animation

   • e.g., Simulation of a Hospital Emergency Room

2. Continuous Simulation including 2D/3D Animation

   • e.g., Airplane Aerodynamics Simulation ( Flight Simulator )

3. Hybrid Discrete-Continuous Simulation including 2D/3D Animation

   • e.g., Hybrid Petri-Net Model of Biochemical Pathways ( Simulation of Glycan Biosynthetic Pathways )

4. Interactive 3D Computer Game

   • Create a 3D world for the game participant.
   • Recommeded game engine: jMonkey Engine (jME) , Wiki , Guide , Tutorial .
