In this book, internationally recognized experts in philosophy of
science, computer science, and modeling and simulation are
contributing to the discussion on how ontology, epistemology, and
teleology will contribute to enable the next generation of
intelligent modeling and simulation applications. It is well
understood that a simulation can provide the technical means to
display the behavior of a system over time, including following
observed trends to predict future possible states, but how reliable
and trustworthy are such predictions? The questions about what we
can know (ontology), how we gain new knowledge (epistemology), and
what we do with this knowledge (teleology) are therefore
illuminated from these very different perspectives, as each experts
uses a different facet to look at these challenges. The result of
bringing these perspectives into one book is a challenging
compendium that gives room for a spectrum of challenges: from
general philosophy questions, such as can we use modeling and
simulation and other computational means at all to discover new
knowledge, down to computational methods to improve semantic
interoperability between systems or methods addressing how to apply
the recent insights of service oriented approaches to support
distributed artificial intelligence. As such, this book has been
compiled as an entry point to new domains for students, scholars,
and practitioners and to raise the curiosity in them to learn more
to fully address the topics of ontology, epistemology, and
teleology from philosophical, computational, and conceptual
viewpoints.
