Garp3: a new workbench for qualitative reasoning and modelling

Published: 28 October 2007 Publication History

Abstract

Easy to use workbenches for Qualitative Reasoning (QR) and Modelling are virtually nonexistent. This has a limiting effect on the use and uptake of the technology by a larger audience. We present Garp3, a user-friendly workbench that allows modellers to build, simulate, and inspect qualitative models. Garp3 can be used to, discover, capture, and share conceptual knowledge on how systems behave.
