Review Session on Probability and Statistics

Important Note: It is very important to read:

1- Chapter 4 in textbook Computer Simulation Technique - The Definitive Introduction

2- Chapter 2 of Parallel & Distributed Simulation Systems on Discrete Event Simulation. It presents the example of Aircraft Traffic.

3- Averill M. Law, Michael G. McComas, HOW TO BUILD VALID AND CREDIBLE SIMULATION MODELS, Proceedings of the 2001 Winter Simulation Conference

The following package contains an implementation of Airport Traffic Application that we have studies in Chapter 9.

It is highly recommended to take a look at the code. The description of the application can also be found at Chapter 2 of the textbook Parallel & Distributed Simulation Systems on Discrete Event Simulation
