Abstract

This course provides an introduction to modelling, i.e. the representation of real-world entities and systems in computer programs. Basic modelling techniques will be introduced and illustrated, and students will apply these techniques in small projects, by modelling parts of systems such as a lift or a railway network.

Objective

Students develop an intuition for modelling the essential aspects of simple applications from their field. They learn how to transform such a model into a computer program.
