GENERAL INFORMATION
From Thursday 16 to Saturday 18 December 2004 (three days) the
International Conference
"MODEL-BASED REASONING IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING:
ABDUCTION, VISUALIZATION, AND SIMULATION"
will be held at the University of Pavia (near Milan, Italy).
The conference continues the theme of the
Conferences "Model-Based Reasoning in Scientific Discovery" MBR'98 and
"Model-Based Reasoning: Scientific Discovery, Technological Innovation, and
Values" MBR'01
The previous volumes derived from those conferences are:

PROGRAM
The conference will deal with the logical, epistemological, and cognitive
aspects
of modeling practices employed in science and engineering, including
computational models of such practices. We solicit papers that examine
the role of abduction, visualization, and simulation in model-based reasoning
from philosophical, historical, sociological, psychological,
or computational perspectives.
RELEVANT RESEARCH AREAS
We call for papers that cover topics pertaining to
model-based reasoning in science and engineering from the following list:
- abduction
- visual, spatial, imagistic modeling and reasoning
- simulative modeling
- the role of diagrammatic representations
- computational models of visual and simulative reasoning
- causal and counterfactual reasoning in model construction
- visual analogy
- thought experimenting
- logical analyses related to model-based reasoning
- manipulative reasoning
- distributed model-based reasoning
- embodiment in model-based reasoning
- model-based reasoning and technological innovation
