System and method for modeling complex layered systems

Abstract

Method and system for modeling of complex systems using a two-sorted reasoning system. Information is received by Distributed Feature Extraction Processors. A first level of reasoning is performed on the information by Distributed Regular Reasoning Processors. A second reasoning process is performed on the information by Distributed Situation Reasoning Processors, which use a Functional Fabric configured to analyze the information received and use functions to modify previous inferences. Client applications allow for viewing and manipulating both reasoning systems and their associated information.

1 . A computer system for modeling complex systems, the computer system comprising:
 Distributed Feature Extraction Processors for receiving information related to a complex system;   Distributed Regular Reasoning Processors for performing a first reasoning of the complex system based on the received information; and   Distributed Situation Reasoning Processors for performing a second reasoning using a Functional Fabric configured to analyze the received information and to use functions to make inferences based previous inferences.
