On qualitative modeling

چکیده

Fundamental assumptions behind qualitative modeling are critically considered, and some inherent problems in that modeling approach are outlined. The problems outlined are due to the assumption that a suu-cient set of symbols representing the fundamental features of the physical world exists. That assumption causes serious problems when modeling continuous systems. An alternative for intelligent system building for cases not suitable for qualitative modeling is proposed. The proposed alternative combines neural networks and quantitative modeling.
