Abstract
An account is given of domain modelling in the ITS IE project. The project was concerned with simulation based training in industrial environments. In such situations, models are required not only of the technical systems being manipulated, but also of the operational expertise required to carry out tasks. Now the way something should be modelled is dependent on the context in which the model will be used — this is true whatever the nature of the model: mental, numerical, or otherwise. Consequently, multiple models are required along with a framework which allows their effective use. A number of modelling tools are described and related to a classification of models. Two demonstration systems are described for illustrative purposes.
