Digital Scholarship

The ability to obtain relevant information in a timely and cost efficient manner is central to the effective performance of most tasks in our society. The widespread availability of computer-based information brokers will provide that ability to large communities by significantly facilitating effective access to the broad range of information that is rapidly becoming available on the Internet. The general availability of the technology to build and maintain information brokers will enable an industry to be established whose primary products are computer-based network-accessible brokering services.

Incomplete information is present in many engineering domains, hindering traditional and non—traditional simulation techniques. This paper describes SQPC (semi—quantitative physics compiler), an implemented approach to modelling and simulation that can predict the behavior ofincompletely specified systems, such as those that arise in the water control domain. SQPC is the first system that unifies compositional modeling techniques with semi—quantitative representations. We describe SQPC's foundations, ...
