Computer program for and method of discrete event computer simulation incorporating biological paradigm for providing optimized decision support

摘要

A computer program for and method of discrete event computer simulation incorporating a biological paradigm, wherein the simulation provides decision support and the biological paradigm contributes optimization of the simulation such that the invention is able to devise and test its own potential solutions to a given problem. The biological paradigm or genetic algorithm is based upon the mechanics of natural selection and population genetics, combining machine-learning with the principle of “survival of the fittest”, including such biological concepts such as reproduction, crossover, and mutation. Potential uses include a programming language preprocessor; a simulation language preprocessor; and an embedded component providing decision support for controlling a system or process.
