Abstract

An information technology to manage complex problems would benefit from a synergy of simulation, software engineering, artificial intelligence, and general system theories. A perception of the needs, the importance of problematique (i.e., systems of ill-structured, ill-defined, or ill-delimited problems), different approaches to problems, and the uprise of systemic thinking are outlined. Model-based activities are defined to encompass simulation. Possibilities for synergies of simulation, software engineering, artificial intelligence, and general system theories are explored.
