Exercises

1. Consider a toy balloon being blown up worth compressed air. As air is released the balloon expands. Use qualitative measures to list the quantity spaces of variables of rate of change in this system. Construct an envisionment for the system and devise one possible history.
2. Consider the function of a single stroke engine. Fuel is admitted to a cylinder and is ignited. As the fuel is ignited the air fuel mixture expands in a controlled explosion and the cylinder piston is moved. Use qualitative measures to list the quantity spaces of variables of rate of change in this system. Construct an envisionment for the system and devise one possible history.
3. Compare and contrast case based reasoning and learning by analogy. How may transformational and derivational analogies be applied in case based reasoning systems.
4. Forgetting is one aspect of human memory. How could this be modelled in a case based reasoning system. Under what circumstances might this be beneficial?
