Generating Structured Explanations of System Behaviour Using Qualitative Simulations

This paper presents an approach to generate structured explanations of system behaviour based on qualitative simulations. This has been implemented in WiziGarp, a domain-independent interactive learning environment. The main issue addressed here is how to manage the complexity of a simulation in order to generate adequate explanations. These are presented to the user in the form of different kinds of diagrams, accompanied by explantory dialogue.
