We introduce the concept of Place Vocabularies as a useful symbolic description of the possible interactions. We examine the requirements for the representation and introduce a definition of place vocabularies that satisfies them. We show how this representation can be computed from metric data and used as a basis for qualitative envisionments of mechanism behavior. and describe implemented algorithms to solve this problem","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/86","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/0086.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/86.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/bibtex/86","volume":{"slug":"1987","title":"Proceedings of the Tenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1987","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/","year":1987,"location":"Milan, Italy","dates":"","editors":"John McDermott","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Knowledge Representation","track":"Knowledge Representation","number":86,"pages":{"first":436,"last":441},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
