Abstract
In this paper, it is discussed how the General System Problem Solving (GSPS) Framework1 can be applied to the identification of technical systems for the purpose of a qualitative simulation of such systems. Both advantages and severe shortcomings of this identification technique are demonstrated, and it is discussed under what circumstances this technique may eventually lead to good results. Major emphasis is devoted to the design of multi-layered hierarchical control systems.
