                        Second Annual Conference on
                        AI, SIMULATION AND PLANNING 
                          in High Autonomy Systems

                           University of Florida

                                INTEGRATING
                        QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE
              KNOWLEDGE FOR COMPLEX SYSTEM AND SIMULATION MODELS
                   April 1-2, 1991, Cocoa Beach, Florida


Conference Description
---------------------

This annual conference is concerned with integrated methods in simulation
and planning that serve to help automate basic decision making processes
in computer systems. Current and future decision making tools will rely
heavily on the ability to reason with sophisticated models that are designed, 
planned and simulated in real time. This year's conference will be held at 
the beginning of the Florida AI Research Conference (FLAIRS) at the same 
location.

There is a strong need to integrate the qualitative system structures
often found in expert systems, reasoning systems, logic and social science 
with the quantitative knowledge found in physical science and engineering. 
Qualitative structures help define high-level (i.e. decision making) control 
knowledge while quantitative structures define unambiguous operations for 
well known physical and engineering systems. The interplay between qualitative
and quantitative modeling is critical in the area of computer simulation 
modeling where a variety of models are created to solve different problems 
and provide different levels of response. Future simulation models will 
require this multi-facetted approach involving model knowledge bases 
containing different levels of system abstraction. This conference will 
serve to bring together researchers interested in using simulation models 
that have well-integrated qualitative and quantitative components.

Scope/Sample Topics
-------------------

Papers can be either conceptual or application-oriented. Some sample
topics are listed below:

* Formalisms for Unification of Qualitative/Quantitative Simulation Models.
* Simulating Engineering Designs using Multiple Levels and Models.
* Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Reasoning about Systems.
* Abstraction in Combined Planning, Simulation and Diagnostic Systems.
* Simulation Model Engineering: From Qualitative to Quantitative Models.
* Multiple Abstraction Levels and Mappings for System Descriptions.
* Software Tools for Qualitative/Quantitative Simulation.
* Process Abstraction Networks and Hierarchies.
* Representing Uncertainty in Simulation Models.
* Decision Making Tools for Integrated Simulation Modeling.
