Qualitative reasoning is an inferring technique using qualitative model to derive new knowledge of and gain insight into a physical technical system in some specific issues. It has been applying in areas such as system diagnosis, system functional/behavior simulation, product design and synthesis. The main challenges are that the construction of qualitative model is difficult and its poor reasoning capability. The efficiency of those qualitative techniques is usually low and they can take a while to reach a...
