Abstract

An AI tool called the Quantitative Problem Solver (QPS) has been developed for building knowledge based systems which can solve quantitative problems in science and engineering. QPS can store and manipulate quantitative knowledge comprising numerical data and scientific laws represented by formulas. The human interface is based on the symbols commonly used by scientists and engineers. All knowledge is represented as objects and classes in an object-oriented knowledge base. QPS employs the familiar Problem Decomposition strategy for selecting the correct sequence of equations needed for solving problems and it has been tested by the building of knowledge based systems to solve several simple problems in Engineering and Physics.
