Abstract: This paper attempts to apply the adaptive control strategy in control theory to the development of Simulation Software for FMS design. The idea of adaptive simulation is proposed. The simulation strategy of "Adaptive Simulation system for FMS design (i. e. FMS -ASS)". FMS-ASS places one simulator within a feedback loop with another computer program which plays the role of an automated, "computerized FMS designer". This program calls on the simulation in an iterative manner, with new optimized parameters on each iteration. This program is referred here as "Simulation Optimization System (i.e. SOS)", which in a certain range helps solving the problems of automatic optimization of simulation outputs under integrated, intelligent simulation environment. Finally the perspective of the future development of adaptive simulation is given.
