Abstract

Aiming at explicit description of temporal meaning of causal relations generated by qualitative reasoning systems, this article proposes a ca~sal time ontology which defines a set of general time concepts in qualitative models, called causal time sc~les . Each of them associated with a modeling techmque represents a te111poral granularity and/o~ an ontological viewpoint. They allow us to spectfy temporal performance of the reasoning engines and to id~n tify a general causal reasoning scheme together wtth sophisticated feedback analysis. Lastly, we present a causal time resolution required to derive causal relations in fluid-related systems and a reasoning system satisfying it.
