  2. Agenda • Introduction to Models • Guest speakers from BBVA Compass

  3. Definition “A computer simulation, a computer model, or a computational model is a computer program, or network of computers, that attempts to simulate an abstract model of a particular system.” - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_simulation

  4. Model • Statistical model • Used to find analytical solutions and predict, or forecast, future results • Weather • Banking • Simulation • Uses various types of inputs (human entered, random machine input) to run different scenarios • Architecture • Weather (Climate change) • Flight Simulator

  5. Example: Earthquake Simulation (Simulation Model) • World’s largest shake table test • Six-story wood frame tested by stronger earthquake forces than California has experienced in modern time

  6. Example: Bridge Wind Simulation (Simulation Model) • Washington State Department of Transportation • SR 520 Bridge Replacement and HOV Project

  7. Example: Natural Disaster Simulation (Simulation Model) • Tsunami Inundation of Seattle (NOAA simulation) • Based on a simulated 7.3 magnitude earthquake

  8. Example: Weather Forecast (Statistical Model) • National Weather Service • Weather for Tuscaloosa, AL

  9. Guest Speakers • Tom Osterbind and Austin Sensenan • Corporate Risk Managers for BBVA Compass Bank

  10. Next Time • Quiz #5 due 3:30 on Wednesday • No late submissions accepted • Assignment #3 due Wednesday night • More about App Inventor • Don’t forget to purchase or download the textbook!
