Abstract
When developing QR software there are choices to be made regarding the exact reasoning of the software. Moreover, what works well in one situation, may become a problem in another, or experts may disagree on the preferred reasoning. Instead of forcing a solution and potentially end-up with a partially suboptimal tool for users or certain models, we have developed and implemented the idea of Simulation Preferences. In Garp3 and DynaLearn users can fine-tune the working of the reasoning engine to their particular insights and needs. These preferences are stored in the model, and automatically activated when re-opening the model. This paper reports on these Simulation Preferences.
