Abstract:
This study is a sequel of a recent publication where the coupling concepts as well as the advantages of coupling of declarative models were clarified. In this article, the basic concepts of simulation model coupling is reviewed. Advanced input concepts, including context-mediated perception, are elucidated. Synergy of agents and simulation is revised. Awareness-based couplings of intelligent agents are explained. Other advanced coupling concepts clarified include: deliberation-based coupling, introspection-based coupling, anticipation-based coupling, and model/real-system coupling.
