Building intelligence into an autopilot using qualitative simulation to support global decision making
Pentti J. Vesanterä, François E. Cellier · SIMULATION · 1989
In this paper, qualitative simulation is applied to reason induc tively about the behavior of a quantitatively simulated aircraft model, to determine on-line when a malfunction occurs in the quantitative model, to hypothesize about the nature of this malfunction, and to decide upon a global strategy that allows to operate (control) the quantitative aircraft model under the modified flying conditions.
