ABSTRACT:
The present invention describes an integrated computer-based graphical interface, methods and systems providing a shell environment for development and deployment for graphic information storage and retrieval, visual modeling and dynamic simulation of complex systems. In the current implementation the system comprises libraries of knowledge-based building-blocks that include sets of icons representing chemical processes, the pools of entities that participate in those processes, and the graphical description of those entities, encapsulating both information and mathematical models within the modular components, in the form of tables and in the form of component icons, and a plurality of methods are associated with each of the icons. The models are built by interconnecting each pool to one or several processes, and each process to one or several pools, resulting in complex networks of multidimensional pathways. A number of functions and graphical interfaces can be selected from the menus associated with each icon, to extract in various forms the information contained in the models build with those building blocks. Those functions include the creation of interactive networks of pathways, graphic selection of complex predefined queries based on the relative position of pools of entities in the pathways, the role that the pools play in the processes, and the structural components of the entities of those pools, and quantitative simulations. The system integrates inferential control with quantitative and semi-quantitative simulation methods, and provides a variety of alternatives to deal with complex dynamic systems and with incomplete and constantly evolving information and data.
