Generating Causal Explanation from a Cardio-Vascular Simulation

In this paper, we present QUALEX, a system and algorithm for generating first-order qualitative causal graphs for tutorial purposes based on de Kleer and Brown's qualitative modeling theory. Q U A L E X is embedded in a constructive simulation environment called Heart Works which teaches hydraulics principles about the cardio-vascular system to first year college biology students.
