Abstract

Many important science and engineering applications, such as regulating the temperature distribution over a semi conductor wafer and controlling the noise from a photocopy machine, require interpreting distributed data and designing decentralized controllers for spatially distributed systems. Developing effective computational techniques for representing and reasoning about these systems, which are usually modeled with partial differential equations (PDEs) , is one of the major challenge problems for qualitative and spatial reasoning research.
