VISQ (Portuguese acronym for "Variables that Interact Semi-Quantitatively") is a scientific-educationalsoftware developed usingCarnegie-Mellon'scT, in the year of 1993 by M. Thielo (as aphysics undergrad at the time), based on Jon Ogborn ideas for semi-quantitative modeling ofdynamical systems, for bothMS-DOS andMacintosh systems (in 2012 the author published a new, Windows compatible version). Awarded by theUniversidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in 1994, the system is based on the theory of continuousneural networks, and have been used in many research projects since then, mainly in Master and Doctoral Dissertations in the area ofenvironmental education.[1] An introduction to VISQ (in Portuguese) can be found at the university site,[2] and thesoftware can be freely downloaded from the author's site[3]
