| Course Description |
Rulebased Simulation Modeling is a course for users who have already
completed the Introduction to Simulation
Modeling course and wish to begin learning rulebased simulation. It has been taught for over 9 years by the CADSWES engineers and researchers
who develop RiverWare software. This course teaches the user how to incorporate policy as data
into their RiverWare models. In this training, you will learn to construct
rules and rulesets, and will gain experience in converting written policy
into rules, implementing rulesets, testing, and debugging models. The course
includes both lectures and self-guided tutorials as well as interactive
group projects.
The detailed training manual will serve as a valuable reference for future
use in writing rules in RiverWare. A considerable amount of time is spent
on the solution methodologies used in rulebased simulation, which build
heavily upon the solution methodologies taught in the Introduction to Simulation
Modeling class.
Special meetings and sessions can be arranged to answer your modeling
questions or discuss your particular modeling needs. Please let us know in advance if you would like to schedule a special session to discuss
the application of RiverWare to a particular basin.
