KBS (Knowledge Based Simulation): An Artificial Intelligence Approach to Flexible Simulation

摘要

This report describes KBS, a Knowledge-Based simulationsystem. The report describes the use of SRL, an Al-based knowledge representation system for modeling (e.g., factory organizations), and its interpretation of discrete simulations. KBS provides facilities for interactive model creation and alteration, simulation monitoring and control, graphics display, and selective instrumentation. It also allows the user to define and simulate a system at different levels of abstraction, and to check the completeness and consistency of a model, hence reducing model debugging time. (Author)
