Combustion Modelling for Training Power Plant Simulators

Modelling Spontaneous Combustion of Coal

Spontaneous combustion of coal is an important problem in mining and storage, in terms of both safety and economics. This is because coal reacts with oxygen in the air and an exothermic reaction occurs, even in ambient conditions. The heat of the reaction accumulates and the reaction becomes progressively faster and thermal runaway may take place to the point of ignition. A detailed computer mo...

Applying Modelling Paradigms to analyse Organisational problems

Managing a company requires different tools and methodologies in order to successfully deal with its intangible resources and maintain a competitive advantage. Econometrics, Agent-Based Modelling (ABM) and System Dynamics (SD) are modelling paradigms which facilitate the building of dynamic models that are characteristic of the organisational context. These three paradigms have important differ...

FO(C) and Related Modelling Paradigms

Recently, C-LOG was introduced as a language for modelling causal processes. Its formal semantics has been defined, but the study of this language is far from finished. In this paper, we compare C-LOG to other declarative modelling languages. More specifically, we compare to first-order logic (FO), and argue that C-LOG and FO are orthogonal and that their integration, FO(C), is a knowledge repr...
