Computer Modelling and Simulation

Zlatan Masic, Konny Nelly Lajhner, Haris Pandza.




Abstract

Background: Computer simulations can be briefly described as the use of computers to represent the dynamic responses of a tested system, by observing the behavior of another, artificial, system modeled on basis of the test system. Physical modeling has been practiced unconsciously since the beginning of the human species, that is, from the moment when the human mind began to understand all the complexity of phenomena and things that surrounded it in nature. Objective: The aim of this paper is to analyze the implementation of computer's simulation and modeling for educational agenda. Methods: This article is a review of the entire to use models, modeling and simulation by using compiters and ICT for teaching system in undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing education using published information, as well as professional papers and publications about this topic. The simulation methodology is based on computer science, statistics, numerical mathematics, operational research and artificial intelligence, but today it is sufficiently coherent and developed that it can rightly be called a separate scientific discipline. The system model represents a simplified and idealized (abstract) image of a real system. In other words, a model is a description of a real system with all its characteristics that are relevant from our point of view. Results and Discussion: Application of computer simulations in science: Different simulations are used to meet specific requirements of the scientific field and the problem such as: Numerical simulation of a differential equation, which cannot be solved analytically. This category includes theories dealing with continuous systems, such as phenomena in physical cosmology, fluid dynamics ; Stochastic simulation, used for discrete systems, where changes occur on the basis of probability, and cannot be explained by equations. These include genetic changes, and biochemical and genetic regulatory processes; Modeling of molecules and their behavior for the purpose of creating drugs; CFD–Computational Fluid Dynamics.–computers are used to perform calculations, which describe the behavior of liquids and gases; Blue Brain project; Cognitive architecture and Movement of parasites in the human body. Conclusion: This paper presents explanations and examples of the application of computer simulations in order to solve everyday problems encountered, both in medicine and all other branches of science. Conclusion: Computer simulations are an invaluable blend of nature and technology, and are one of the main sources of hope for understanding and improving the world we live in.

Key words: Computer simultions, model, moddeling, science, medicine.
