Knowledge based simulation techniques for manufacturing

Abstract

The art and science of simulating complex manufacturing systems is rapidly changing. A great deal of attention is being devoted to the possibilities of bringing artificial intelligence (AI) and expert systems (ES) technology into simulation methodology. Such systems will hopefully allow models to be quickly developed, validated and run with as much of the necessary expertise as possible built into the software. This paper addresses: (a) the motivation and need for developing such systems, (b) the nature of such systems, (c) the potential benefits of this technology over existing approaches and (d) the current state-of-the-art as it applies to simulation.
