Abstract :
Simulation is an indispensable tool for system analysis and design. However, simulation techniques reach quickly their limits or may lose their efficiency when applied to complex systems such as large flexible manufacturing systems or enterprise models. The use of knowledge based technology can enhance the capabilities of simulation by organizing and even eliciting information. Thus enhanced simulators may very well become the primary aid to decision making and planning for large complex systems
