A qualitative simulation framework in smalltalk based on fuzzy arithmetic

For many systems, it is not practical to collect and correlate empirical data necessary to formulate a mathematical model. However, it is often sufficient to predict qualitative dynamics effects (as opposed to system quantities), especially for research purposes. In this effort, an object-oriented a...

Summary:For many systems, it is not practical to collect and correlate empirical data necessary to formulate a mathematical model. However, it is often sufficient to predict qualitative dynamics effects (as opposed to system quantities), especially for research purposes. In this effort, an object-oriented application framework (AF) was developed for the qualitative modeling of natural-resources systems. An application framework is a collection of reusable object classes that provide basic functionality for a class of applications. The user creates subclasses that inherit this functionality, and that are specific to his or her application. Smalltalk, an object-oriented programming (OOP) language, was chosen for the AF
