How-to

The paper should describe given topic in detail summarizing the actual state of the art from the system simulation perspective. The paper should always go in to detail what is the purpose of the simulating such phenomenon, what particular methods and models are used, how do they work, what are their benefits and real world applications. The length of an paper should be roughly about 14000 characters and the text must meet the requirements and parameters of scholar article, particularly the references (note that Wikipedia as well as any other encyclopedia is a tertiary resource and hence CANNOT be cited by no means, but it surely is not necessary to remember in master's course). References (citations) must refer to a specific page in the material you are citing.

Required structure

1) A complete overview of the selected essay topic

2) Real world examples

3) An overview of the models used and their basic characteristics, so that one can understand how they differ from each other, where each is used, and what their advantages and disadvantages are + Tools used to implement the given model

4) Detailed presentation of two different models so that one can understand how the model works in detail, i.e., how it simulates the specified phenomenon + own illustrations

5) Outlook

6) References


Stick to the topic - you should cover your topic and do not interfere the others much.

How to submit

You must submit two things: paper itself and the materials in PDF from which you are citing.

1)The only possible way to submit your paper is to submit a word-processor file to Paper Moodle submit place.

2)The only possible way to submit the materials from which you are citing is to submit them well named in zipped file to References Moodle submit place.
