Artificial intelligence and simulation: an introduction

Authors Info & Claims
Published:01 December 1986Publication History

ABSTRACT

Artificial intelligence is one of the most rapidly developing fields in modern applied computer science. It has generated research and applications in several widely varying fields, both within and without the realm of topics considered to be 'core' AI components. At the same time, the science of simulation modelling is also advancing steadily, incorporating new technologies such as graphical output display and more recently, applications of artificial intelligence.

This paper provides a brief description of the major component topics of artificial intelligence. Several references are included to allow readers to examine topics of interest in more depth. The paper also discusses the application of intelligent systems to simulation modelling and describes, with references, some of the development in this area to date.
