Abstract

Although the paradigm of AI--simulation interactions is relatively new, it is believed that this hybrid approach has a number of advantages, in terms of making fuller use of the power and features of both AI and simulation. This paper considers in detail the various classes of interactions between AI and simulation systems, and how they may be mutually beneficial. It then considers various strategies for communication and presents a UNIX--based implementation of interprocess communication. Finally a case study is presented using MODSIM as the language for a manufacturing system simulation, and CLIPS as the language for implementing an intelligent agent which interacts with the simulation.
