Abstract:
A qualitative model of the short term glucose regulation system is presented. The model is based on the qualitative process theory, based on the concept of physical process defined by the property of causing changes in objects over time. The model has been successfully validated on inputs of several tests. It is intended to employ this model within a comprehensive system encompassing qualitative and quantitative aspects of modelling, building an environment useful for new treatment planning and for education.
