Abstract: Model formulation and model reuse are among the challenges in the field of qualitative reasoning research. There are numerous task-level processes in organic chemical reactions. Identifying the generic ones can help promote model reuse in a qualitative simulation environment. This paper describes an approach to automate qualitative models and reuse them for the simulation of a class of organic reactions for learning purposes. In particular, the paper describes how the generic processes are identified and used for task-level reasoning. The generic processes were identified as "make-bond" and "break-bond". In this work, chemical processes are represented as model fragments using the Qualitative Process Theory (QPT) ontology. The work applied compositional modelling technique to chain model fragments when predicting the outcome of an organic chemical reaction.
