Announcements

[2021-01-11]         Homework and Project files are uploaded to the UES.

[2020-11-04]         Due to the server issues, all slides are uploaded to Marmara University distant learning system (UES). For ease of finding and for avoiding mismatch in the weeks among the course, they are located at Week 1.

[2020-10-10]         All slides are uploaded to the course webpage and is downloadable in the course schedule. Slides are subject to change, therefore, please be sure you have the most recent copy.

[2020-10-10]         The discrete event simulation tool that will be used in the homeworks and the project is AnyLogic (latest version). Please read the introductory information and also see the Resources below.

[2020-10-10]         Attendance is required at all class meetings. For excused absences, the student must provide an explanation to the instructor and supply supporting evidence.
