ABSTRACT
The Art and Science of modeling and simulation is rapidly changing. Recently there has been an increasing interest in the possibilities of incorporating the technologies developed by the artificial intelligence research community into the modeling and simulation process. This paper addresses: (a) the nature of artificial intelligence, (b) it's present and potential applications in the design and management of modeling systems, (c) the potential benefits of this technology over existing approaches, and (d) the current state-of-the-art as it applies to simulation.
