Qualitative Reasoning about Physical Systems By: Bobrow, D.G. Publisher: North Holland Print ISBN: 9780444876706, 0444876707 eText ISBN: 9780444876706, 9780444599216, 0444599215 Format: PDF Available from $ 72.95 USD SKU 9780444876706 This volume brings together current work on qualitative reasoning. Its publication reflects the maturity of qualitative reasoning as a research area and the growing interest in problems of reasoning about physical systems. The papers present knowledge bases for a number of very different domains, including heat flow, transistors, and digital computation. A common theme of all these papers is explaining how physical systems work. An important shared criterion is that the behavioral description must be compositional, that is the description of a system's behavior must be derivable from the structure of the system. This material should be of interest to anyone concerned with automated reasoning about the real (physical) world. Download eBook Free: https://ouo.io/mklbyX
