THE RICH WORLD OF COMPUTER MODELLING AND PROBLEM SOLVING

Abstract

This paper presents some interesting aspects of the rich world of computermodelling and problem solving. After discussing basic model building principles attentionis devoted to several modelling methods aimed for solving different types of problems.These are methods for modelling of optimisation problems, dynamic systems with randomcharacteristics, knowledge, uncertain phenomena, systems with graph structure, learning,as well as cooperation and competition. Basic characteristics of these methods andexamples of their application are given.
