Book Description

ISBN-10: 0387950656 | ISBN-13: 978-0387950655 | Publication Date: June 2001 | Edition: 1

During the 1990s the computing industry has witnessed many advances in mobile and enterprise computing. Many of these advances have been made possible by developments in the areas such as modeling, simulation, and artificial intelligence. Within the different areas of enterprise computing - such as manufacturing, health organisation, and commerce - the need for a disciplined, multifaceted, and unified approach to modeling and simulation has become essential. This new book provides a forum for scientists, academics, and professionals to present their latest research findings from the various fields: artificial intelligence, collaborative/distributed computing, modeling, and simulation.

Amazon.com Review

How are modeling and simulation guiding the evolution of artificial intelligence? Get the state of the art in this collection of papers from a survey of academics and professionals working deep in the field. Moving beyond mathematical modeling to include robotics and multi-agent systems, the work is invaluable to all AI researchers. --Rob Lightner

5.0 out of 5 stars The introduction itself is worth the price, January 23, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Discrete Event Modeling and Simulation Technologies: A Tapestry of Systems and AI-Based Theories and Methodologies (Hardcover)

These articles originated as papers from a recent meeting so that some may be found on the web. However,the articles are extended and stringently reviewed revisions of the original papers the collection itself is of great value since it amounts to a whole more than the sum. The introductory article is not just a precis of the contents, it does an excellent job of placing discrete event modeling and simulation technology within the context of AI, software engineering, and systems engineering.

Contrary to one reviewer, the book cannot be derived in any way from what's available on the web. If you are interested in new paradigms for technology, it belongs on your bookshelf.

This review is from: Discrete Event Modeling and Simulation Technologies: A Tapestry of Systems and AI-Based Theories and Methodologies (Hardcover)

the book are many free papers on internet.

There are very theory technologies but no new contents about DEVS.
