建模与仿真的认识论:我们如何从仿真中获得知识?
Epistemology of Modeling and Simulation: How can we gain Knowledge from Simulations?
摘要:
认识论是哲学的一个分支,它处理获得知识的问题。它与本体论密切相关。处理诸如“什么是真实的?“和“我们知道什么?“因为它提供了这些组件。当使用建模和仿真时,我们通常暗示我们这样做是为了应用知识,特别是当我们将它们用于培训和教学时,或者我们想要获得新知识,例如在进行分析或进行虚拟实验时。本文着眼于科学史,以更好地应对这个问题,我们如何从模拟中获得知识。它解决了可计算性和一般基础数学的方面,并将研究结果应用于验证和验证以及联邦的开发。由于模拟被理解为可计算的可执行假设,验证可以被理解为假设检验和理论构建。数学框架允许进一步解决一些挑战时,开发联邦和潜在的矛盾时,组成不同的理论,因为它们所代表的联邦仿真系统。
英文摘要:
Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that deals with gaining knowledge. It is closely related to ontology. The branch that deals with questions like "What is real?" and "What do we know?" as it provides these components. When using modeling and simulation, we usually imply that we are doing so to either apply knowledge, in particular when we are using them for training and teaching, or that we want to gain new knowledge, for example when doing analysis or conducting virtual experiments. This paper looks at the history of science to give a context to better cope with the question, how we can gain knowledge from simulation. It addresses aspects of computability and the general underlying mathematics, and applies the findings to validation and verification and development of federations. As simulations are understood as computable executable hypotheses, validation can be understood as hypothesis testing and theory building. The mathematical framework allows furthermore addressing some challenges when developing federations and the potential introduction of contradictions when composing different theories, as they are represented by the federated simulation systems.
