Knowledge integration and creation for solving complex problems
Abstract
Complex problems cannot be rationally analyzed and solved without adequate integration of pertinent knowledge and its representation in form of the corresponding mathematical model. Such models are actually used for creation of knowledge about the problem through model analysis. Modeling complex problems for finding rational solutions demands not only novel modelingmethods but also appropriatemodeling technology. The paper presents selected issues of knowledge integration and creation aimed at model-based support for solving complex problems, and characterizes the structured modeling technology developed for supporting collaborative interdisciplinarymodeling processes.
