Abstract :
A description is given of the authors´ early work (1987) on the implementation of an experimental knowledge-based discrete-event simulation system. The system is being developed as an extension of the MUSE artificial intelligence (AI) toolkit to allow the reuse of modules of the simulation code to carry out real-time control. The operation of the system is illustrated by applying it to the problem of the control and scheduling of modular flexible machining cells
