A FRAMEWORK FOR INTEGRATING ARTIFICIAL-INTELLIGENCE AND SIMULATION

Both Simulation and Artificial Intelligence try to model reality for p roblem solving and decision making. In this paper, we propose a framew ork for integrating the two areas by uncovering fundamental similariti es between them and opportunities for combining them which can be mutu ally useful. The framework also shows the potential gains for Simulati on by applying Artificial Intelligence concepts (mainly expert systems ) to assist in the simulation process and reveals in an organised way the potential gains for Artificial Intelligence by applying concepts d erived from Simulation.
