Abstract :
The technical issues associated with supporting analysis tasks using computer-based tools are addressed. The objectives are to propose a framework for representing: (1) conceptual knowledge that supports model construction and manipulation; (2) arguments and the process of argumentation; and (3) time and calculi for reasoning with respect to time. In addition, techniques to reuse past analyses are discussed, as are issues involving man-machine communication. It is expected that this approach will lead to a tool that can support a number of disciplines by providing a generic capability for constructing models, managing information, and browsing through information.<>
