Students will learn
the basic design and algorithmic elements for modeling dynamic systems--systems
that change state over time. This year, we are back to basics by using a
visualization approach to appreciate the core elements. This will be done using
Java and a media-savvy subset of Java called Processing. Case
studies will be handed out for real-world applications of the elements. In the
homework and final projects, students may choose to use simulation for abstract
visual and auditory results in Processing, or produce practical simulations of
engineering and scientific scenarios. This web page serves as an overview of
the course, and a rough guideline to the topics covered as time permits.

[8/29] I will use E-Learning and Yahoo group for announcement. I will not post announcements on the class website any more. Please check E-Learning frequently, or join yahoo group.
[8/24] The first day of class
Welcome to CAP4800/5805!
Dr. Fishwick is on sabbatical in this Fall, so the lectures will be given using
pre-recorded videotapes. Lectures will be also provided on E-Learning. I would
like to announce something about the class.
1. No textbook is required. I will provide the class materials, but you have to
watch the lectures to cover all the things.
2. Class schedule has been posted. Please check the date of exam, homework,
project and "no class". You have to come to the class on the date of
exam.
3. Please visit and join yahoo group for communication. The URL is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ufsim07/
4. Free Podcasts on Modeling are provided on the class webpage. Those are
helpful to you to understand modeling.
Thank you!
