Qualitative Process Theory Using Linguistic Variables

Qualitative Process Theory Using Linguistic Variables by Bruce D'Ambrosio.

8. 5 Summary In this chapter we have identified three basic patterns of influences that lead to ambiguity in the QP analysis of the basic active furnace state. We have then shown how modification of these patterns, by adding equilibrium values and sensitivity annotations on influence arcs, could per...
