This work deals with the incorporation of the Principle of Simplicity into model based reasoning (MBR) used for computer aided simulation of industrial processes. For this purpose, we have designed /developed a methodological framework under the form of an algorithmic procedure with 20 activity stages and 14 decision nodes. The functionality of this methodology has been indicated/supported by means of a case example referring to autohydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass to glucose. The combined independent variable used for representing the Principle of Simplicity was the 'Severity Factor' estimated in a continuous mode by means of a SCADA control system, while serving also as a process intensification index.
