Two strategies of structural simulation are described. In the first one, the user defines the possible structures and conditions of change. In this case, the simulation process finds the structural paths through successive structures. In the second strategy, the structures are generated by the simulation process based on the model of creative thinking proposed by Poincare and Hadamard. AI and genetic programming techniques are used to implement the model. A simple example is given to illustrate the method of the second strategy. date: 1995-06 date_type: published publisher: WP-95-054 iiasapubid: WP-95-054 price: 10 creators_browse_id: 1618 full_text_status: public monograph_type: working_paper place_of_pub: IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria pages: 13 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/book citation: Domingo, C., Sananes, M., Tonella, G. , & Sarmiento, F.
