A general-purpose simulation environment for developing connectionist models
Article Abstract:
Developing and evaluating 'connectionist models' in artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and neurophysiological modeling is currently a difficult and time-consuming task. To address this issue, as part of a larger research effort, we implemented a software system called MIRRORS-II for developing connectionist models. MIRRORS-II is distinguished by its support of a very high-level non-procedural language along with user and system libraries for the accumulation of system resources. We describe these features in detail, give a small example of the use of MIRRORS-II, and outline details of the implementation. Finally, we discuss current work using MIRRORS-II, future plans for the system and other related connectionist modeling systems.

PCRSM: a decision support system for simulation metamodel construction
Article Abstract:
A general procedural area which applies regression theory, experimental design, and optimization theory is Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Metamodeling using RSM techniques is a popular method for analyzing simulation models. This paper presents a microcomputer based decision support system called PCRSM which acts as an aid to employing RSM in simulation studies. An example of PCRSM's use is presented using a simulation model of a personnel system. (Reprinted with permission of the publisher.)
