Qualitative Reasoning: Modeling and Simulation with Incomplete Knowledge (Artificial Intelligence)

By Benjamin Kuipers

Qualitative reasoning is one of the most vigorous areas in artificial intelligence. This book presents, within a conceptually unified theoretical framework, a body of methods that have been developed over the past 15 years for building and simulating qualitative models of physical systems - bathtubs, tea kettles, automobiles, the physiology of the body, chemical processing plants, control systems, electrical systems - where knowledge of that system is incomplete. The primary tool for this work is the author's QSIM algorithm, which is discussed in detail.
