Artificial intelligence and expert systems are the latest buzzwords and the hottest topics in the scientific community today Some experts are proclaiming that artificial intelligence (AI) has already emerged as one of the most significant technologies of this cen tury. Proponents are declaring that it will completely revolu tionize management and the way computers are used. If these claims are even half true, then AI is bound to have a profound effect upon the art and science of simulation. This paper will provide an overview of this rapidly evolving field, examine the potential ofAl (and more particularly, expert systems) in simula tion and attempt to explore the probable impact as well as fore cast likely future directions.
