Integrating multiple representations for incremental, causal simulation
Conference Paper, Proceedings of 2nd Annual Conference on AI, Simulation and Planning in High Autonomy Systems (AIHAS '91), pp. 88 - 96, April, 1991
Abstract
Many engineering problems require the ability to answer 'what if' questions about the effects of complex physical events. To address such problems, the author has implemented MIDAS, a system that can incrementally simulate events and produce causal explanations describing their effects. MIDAS incorporates an explicit causal model of time, change, and persistence. It integrates multiple specialized representations using a truth maintenance system that records belief justifications and enables incremental assertion and retraction of beliefs. MIDAS has been tested in several complex domains, including geology and semiconductor fabrication.
