The SimKitTM system is an integrated set of general-purpose simulation and modeling tools built in and on the Knowledge Engineering Environment R (KEER) software development system. SimKit is used to build "knowledge-based" simulations. By knowledge-based, we mean an approach that utilizes a variety of techniques that have emerged from artificial intelligence including: • The LISP programming environment • High-resolution bitmap graphics • Object-oriented programming • Frame-based knowledge representation with inheritance • Active values or "demons" • Rule-based reasoning. Knowledge-based simulations are more understandable, interactive, accessible, and extensible than simulations built using "conventional" techniques. In addition, knowledge-based simulations can easily be integrated with other knowledge system applications.
