Abstract
A complete model of uncertainties is being developed in this paper, where uncertainties can be identified on different levels of abstraction. Uncertainties have to be taken into consideration during the planning and developing process especially while building the model and forecasting the technical product and process properties. It enables the assignment of suitable models of uncertainty at different levels of abstraction. Based on this model, it is a decisive part of these models to derive suitable methods which help reducing the lack of knowledge.
