Abstract: QSIM is a powerful Qualitative Simulation algorithm, which now includes many features that have proven to be necessary in Qualitative Simulation. These features are: reasoning with Higher-Order Derivatives, having Multiple Levels of Abstraction, reasoning in the Phase Space representation, and reasoning about Energy. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive view of all these techniques, by explaining their rationale, showing the problems they address and how they interact. Remaining problems in Qualitative Simulation are also discussed
