中文摘要：

知识系统是知识及其活动和相关要素构成的复杂自适应系统。企业内部的知识系统涉及到不同的部门与成员,构成一个复杂网络;而企业网络中的知识系统则涉及到数量庞大的不同主体,构成一个复杂度更高的知识网络。由于网络自身的复杂性,知识系统表现出非线性特征,因此仿真方法在知识系统研究中日益得到广泛应用。在对中英文主要期刊中的知识系统研究文献进行统计分析的基础上,着重介绍了仿真方法在知识系统研究中的应用领域、研究成果与相关技术,最后总结了该领域的研究现状并探讨了未来的研究方向。

英文摘要：

A knowledge system is a complex adaptive system consisting of knowledge, related activities and other components. A knowledge system within a firm, involving different functions and their members, is a typical complex network; while a knowledge system within an inter-firm network is composed of a variety of stakeholders and is a more complicated network. Due to its high complexity, the knowledge system has non-linear behaviors. Hence, simulation methods have been widely adopted in knowledge system researches. Based on a comprehensive literature statistics on knowledge system simulation studies, the research topics, findings and methods in this area were reviewed in detail. The current status and potential future works were also briefly discussed.
