Knowledge-Based Simulation

Abstract

Simulation is a modeling technique that is widely used in such areas as policymaking, manufacturing, computer system design, and military analysis. In spite of its widespread use, current simulation technology suffers from a number of serious drawbacks that limit its power, applicability, and credibility. The Knowledge-Based Simulation (KBSim) project at RAND is engaged in research aimed at producing a new-generation simulation environment that will greatly extend the capabilities of current simulation technology, particularly as applied to analytic modeling. Keywords: Simulation, Artificial intelligence, Models, Reasoning.
