The concept of qualitative modeling is briefly described. This paper focuses on the use of signed directed graphs to model fault propagation in process plants. It is common to use a unit-based approach for modeling. Two kinds of problems, which arise when constructing unit-based qualitative models, are identified: (1) The models are difficult to construct. (2) Ambiguities due to multiple causal paths may occur when the models are combined. A method that allows models to be built simply and correctly is proposed. The method incorporates features from the knowledge acquisition field, and a computer-aided modeling tool, Equipment Model Builder, has been built to support this method. A new modular approach is presented which overcomes the problem of ambiguous inference when qualitative models are combined. Two case studies were used to evaluate the method developed and the support tool.

“…The knowledge support systems research has been part of a program of development of knowledge acquisition methodologies and tools with major emphasis on these being usable by end-users such as knowledgeable experts [11,27]. This has been achieved primarily through the provision of simple, natural, attractive and easily learnt graphic interfaces to text analysis, repertory grid, inductive modeling, semantic network, and related tools [10].…”

An open architecture multimedia document publication system is described which integrates a number of different representation technologies to provide a medium offering a wide spectrum of usage, from emulation of current paper publication, through electronic document delivery, multimedia inclusion of video and sound, structured hypermedia linkage, and formal knowledge representation supporting simulation and inference. The research is targeted on exploring new forms of scholarly communication, and the publication system supports collaborative document development, the authentication of disseminated material, and the citation, annotation and reuse of such material. The document publication system provides a rich word processing and page makeup environment with all the facilities normally expected, and adds multimedia, hypermedia and computational facilities incrementally and naturally, with careful attention to the usability of the human-computer interface. The result is an interactive document in which knowledge is represented in a variety of ways, some targeted on human interaction, some targeted on computational analysis, simulation and inference, and such that the document can be printed as a conventional paper or book losing the dynamic aspects of the material but retaining the visual representation.

“…2 KSSn ARCHITECTURE KSSn (Knowledge Support System n) is the latest in a series of developments deriving from our initial implementation of KSS0 (Gaines, 1988a,b) and KSS1 (Shaw & Gaines, 1987). These early knowledge support systems focused on knowledge acquisition and conceptual modeling, and have been extended through heterogeneous integration to offer close integration with hypermedia and expert system shells (Gaines, Rappaport & Shaw, 1989;Gaines & Linster, 1990).…”

This paper is written in a document production tool that appears to a user as a word processor but also acts as an expert system shell with frame and rule representations supporting deductive inference. The electronic version of the document is active, providing typographic text and page layout facilities, versioning, hypermedia sound and movies, hypertext links, and knowledge structures represented in a visual language. It can be read as a hypermedia document and also interrogated as a knowledgebased system for problem-solving. The paper version of the document, which you are now reading, is produced by printing the electronic version. It loses its active functionality but continues to act as a record of the knowledge in the document. The overall technology has been developed as an alternative approach to the dissemination of knowledge bases. It also provides a different interface to knowledge-based systems that emulates document interfaces with which many users are already familiar.
