ABSTRACT
We examine different formalisms for modeling qualitatively physical systems, and their associated inferential processes which allow us to derive qualitative predictions from the models. We highlight the mathematical aspects of these processes along with their potential and limitations. The paper then bridges to quantitative modeling, highlighting the benefits of QR-based approaches in the framework of system identification, and discusses open research issues.
