Simulation Project Presentation

Make slides for presentation, that you can go through in 15-20 minutes without interruption. Make back-up slides for answering any questions that come up. Your presentation is a substitute for a report, so make it as complete as possible. It should have the following generic outline:

• describe the system you are studying
• pose interesting questions about the system - why should you study this system(s)? What is interesting about it? How will simulation model help in answering the question(s)?
• describe your abstraction of it (i.e. if you are ignoring some details, and focussing on only some essential details - that is your "abstraction" - describe that)
• state any statistical assumptions
• any interesting specifics of the simulation model (including any smart coding tricks)
• Results (will be compared with questions). Results cannot be mere graphs, but your observations and conclusions based on the graphs.
• An "appendix" slide, with the following details:
  • Division of work within the team (who did what)
  • Software details: language, platform, libraries used (if any), code snippet used (if any)
  Just make sure that a basic high-level walk-thru can be done in 20 mts, and all the rest is "back-up".
  
  At least ONE of the measures you study should have confidence intervals calculated. You should use the Welch's procedure to detect steady state, and then apply techniques taught in class to generate confidence intervals. Generally, the graph(s) you generate will have the parameter that you vary, on the X axis, and the measure of interest on the Y axis. Each y corresponding to an x will actually be the confidence interval. (The actual graph can just show the middle point, but then show a table of the confidence intervals).
  
  A demo of the simulation program will also be requested. Upload your code and your presentation slides here
