ModellingModelling is the use of computers to create abstract models of objects, organisms and organizations.It can be done with spreadsheets, mathematical applications, or standard programming languages.
Simulation Imitation or representation, of a potential situation or an experimental testing. Representation of the operation or features of one process or system through the use of another
Examples of Simulation Internet games like checkers, hearts, reversi, in which you play against an opponent who is not actually physically there with you, flight simulations.Many military bases with the use of modelling and simulation, are able to practice and predict what will happen in the air.
Examples of ModellingAn example version of something, not the actual product, but what the product will look like, for example, a prototype.
to think of modelling as a blueprint that shows the outline of a house.
Advantages of Modelling and Simulation Safety-It’s safer to practice the skill you are learning (during the simulation) on a computer than actually doing it.(flight simulation)
Economy- Less expensive Projection- it’s less time consuming
Visualization- you can see what you will be doing Replication- you can do the activity multiple times Disadvantages of Modelling and Simulation It’s not real Accuracy as opposed to the real thing (it is hard to predict every possible outcome and often simulations must be revised to include possible obstacles) Very complex Risks- believing the computer Social and Ethical Issues of Modelling and SimulationWhen dealing with modelling and simulation, you have to consider the risks.
Is it reliable and secure?
Can you trust the integrity of someones work?
You have to think of these things because in today's society the Internet is filled with information both true and false, you must take this fact into account especially with modelling and simulation, because the models and simulations must be precise, when dealing with people and machines, it is not safe to assume anything.
