Qualitative Simulation Modeling and Analysis

Recently there has been considerable interest in qualitative methods in simulation and mathematical modelling. This book reviews fundamental concepts in the field of qualitative simulation and will appeal to readers in a variety of disciplines including research in simulation methodology, artificial intelligence and engineering.
