The Role of Artificial Intelligence Concepts in System Modelling and Simulation: An Overview

1994

The impact of modelling and simulation methodology research on the daily practice of the simulation community is becoming clearly perceivable. The same applies to the application of the artificial intelligence research in a diversity of computer related fields. As both fields are strongly based on models as the main way they convey their knowledge, the fact of synergy caused by combining these two computer related areas comes as a more or less logical consequence. There is an increasing interest of incorporating methods and techniques developed by and for the artificial intelligence community into modelling and simulation methodology and practice. This paper addresses common aspects and dif…
