Abstract

The design of structured mathematical models of processes in a certain level of abstraction defined by the given task appears to be difficult and time consuming even for experienced experts.

This paper reports on a new method for the design of structured process models based on the metaphor of Genetic Programming. This new methodology allows the automatic generation of non-linear process models in a self-organizing way.
