Computer simulation and information technology laboratory

Computer simulation is one of the effective methods to research complex systems. Computer models are easier and more convenient than natural, especially in cases where actual experiments are difficult due to financial or physical obstacles or may give unpredictable results. The computer models formality allows identifying the main factors which determine the properties of an object studied, in particular, researching a simulated physical system response on changes of its parameters and initial conditions.
