Simulation Evaluation

Below are practical examples of applications of simulations. You have been assigned an area to evaluate their effectiveness and implications. Find assigned some of common fields that have been subjected to modeling and simulation and answer the questions following:

Atiya & Tasin
- Weather forecasting

Rishad & Terry
- Stock Exchange

Salima & Gary
- Genetics and evolution

Nafisa & Immaculate
- Flight simulators used for training pilots

Sajni
- Traffic flow used to study traffic

Answer the following questions:
a)Find and summarize websites or direct references to computer simulations within the chosen field.

b) How complex is the underlying model and on what theory/equations is it based?

c) To what extent is the assigned simulation above is being used for real-life or research/training purposes and why?

d) Based on the above, what is the reliability and effectiveness of the model and related simulation? (This is the most important question!)
