Compositional modelling is one of the most important knowledge-based approaches to automating domain model construction. However, its use has been limited to physical systems due to the specific presumptions made by existing techniques. Based on a critical survey of existing compositional modellers, the strengths and limitations of compositional modelling for its application in the ecological d...

A compositional generic process control model is presented which has been applied to control enzymatic biochemical processes. The model has been designed at a conceptual and formal level using the compositional development method DESIRE, and includes processes for analysis, planning and simulation. It integrates qualitative and quantitative techniques. Its application to enzymatic chemical proc...

This paper presents a new computational model for studying the origins and evolution of compositional languages grounded through the interaction between agents and their environment. The model is based on previous work on adaptive grounding of lexicons and the iterated learning model. Although the model is still in a developmental phase, the first results show that a compositional language can ...
