A New Architecture for Automated Modelling

Existingautomated modellingsystems eitherrely on large, complexlibrariesor requirecomplete access to the modelledsystem’ s behaviour, neitherof whichis desirable, To address these problems, a simplerarchitecture for modelling knowledge is described, basedon the separation between ideal modelsof componentsand correctionsthat can be applied to theseidea1models. The use of this architectureto develop accuratemodel boundariesis described, basedon considerationof interactionswithin such ideal models. A novel algorithm for refining models is also proposed. This algorithm considersbehavioural differencesbetweenmodels and appliesthe correctionsthat causethe greatestdifferencesin behaviour. Finally, somemodelsgeneratedby this methodareshownto be parsimonious.
