Abstract

Permettant la conception et l'entretien de systèmes logistiques et techniques toujours plus complexes, la recherche opérationnelle fait aujourd'hui partie du bagage essentiel à tout ingénieur. Avec un formalisme mathématique réduit, ce livre offre une introduction aux principaux outils de modélisation et de résolution des problèmes de recherche opérationnelle, ainsi qu'aux méthodes d'optimisation et de simulation. Les concepts introduits sont motivés par de nombreux exemples et exercices, illustrant diverses applications aux sciences de l'ingénieur et à la gestion.

Simulation

A simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. Simulations require the use of models; the model represents the key characteristics or behaviors of the selected system or process, whereas the simulation represents the evolution of the model over time. Often, computers are used to execute the simulation. Simulation is used in many contexts, such as simulation of technology for performance tuning or optimizing, safety engineering, testing, training, education, and video games.

Computer simulation

Computer simulation is the process of mathematical modelling, performed on a computer, which is designed to predict the behaviour of, or the outcome of, a real-world or physical system. The reliability of some mathematical models can be determined by comparing their results to the real-world outcomes they aim to predict. Computer simulations have become a useful tool for the mathematical modeling of many natural systems in physics (computational physics), astrophysics, climatology, chemistry, biology and manufacturing, as well as human systems in economics, psychology, social science, health care and engineering.

Simulation hypothesis

The simulation hypothesis proposes that all of existence is a simulated reality, such as a computer simulation. This simulation could contain conscious minds that may or may not know that they live inside a simulation. This is quite different from the current, technologically achievable concept of virtual reality, which is easily distinguished from the experience of actuality. Simulated reality, by contrast, would be hard or impossible to separate from "true" reality.
