  25. Is KEEL suitable for upgrading existing systems, or only for integration into new systems?
  26. How can you model physical systems with KEEL?
  27. Why do you call KEEL a "technology" rather than "tool"?
  28. What do you do if your domain experts don't think in curves?
  29. What do you do if there is more than one expert and they disagree?
