    LEARNING AND TEACHING METHODS

    The subject will be delivered through a combination of lectures, hands-on workshops, individual assignments, and a pair-based project in which students use modelling and simulation to study a complex system.

    INDICATIVE KEY LEARNING RESOURCES

    A package of notes will be made available to the students at the start of the course. An addition reference is: Kramer, Jeff, and Jeff Magee: Concurrency: State Models and Java Programs, John Wiley and Sons, 2nd edition (2006).

    CAREERS / INDUSTRY LINKS

    The ability for software engineers and computer scientists to abstract and analyse complex problems is key to their profession. As software systems continue to be deployed in increasingly complex and critical environments, such as transport control, manufacturing, and healthcare, the tools and methods for analysing complex systems will become more important.
