Description
This book represents a recent compilation of research material that reviews fundamental concepts of simulation methodology and knowledge-based simulation, linking the fields of computer simulation and artificial intelligence. This book should appeal to both theorists and practitioners who require simulation to solve complex problems. A primary attraction of the book is its emphasis on both methodology and applications. In this way, the reader can explore new methods for encoding knowledge-intensive information into a simulation model, and new applications that utilize these methods.
