Modeling & Simulation

• Computer-aided modeling

• Simulation program generators

• Software architectures for modeling and simulation

• Modeling smart systems (systems/machines/mechanisms) which can

 perform their functions better with the knowledge processing

 abilities, even though their main functionalities are not knowledge

 processing.

 model processing): CAST – Computer-aided System Theory.

• Application of software engineering concepts in system theories

 (e.g., model robustness, model integrity)

Artificial Intelligence

• Software for AI applications

Artificial Intelligence

Modeling & Simulation

• AI for simulation:

 - AI-supported simulation (for user/system interfaces)

 - AI-based simulation (for the generation of model behavior, e.g.,

  rule-based simulation, qualitative simulation)

• Agents for simulation:

 - Agent-supported simulation (for user/system interfaces)

 - Agent-based simulation (for the generation of model behavior)
