N2 - In earlier work, we presented representations of physical systems at two levels of abstraction. Domain models represent particular physical systems whereas prime models are the higher level abstraction, representing general knowledge about a class of domain models. For example, a domain model of a circulatory system is a particular system of a corresponding prime model of a class of flow systems. This paper presents how domain models can be aggregated into intermediate levels, each of which can be realized as an instance of a corresponding abstract prime model. One advantage of model aggregation is its ability to reason from first principle at different levels of decomposition. This is especially desirable when dealing with large and complex physical systems.
