Styles and Approaches
|
|
- Model - representation of an item in some form other than the form in which it is to ultimately exist
- set of equations
- computer program
- schematic diagram
- queuing network
- Model classification
- Interpreted - the model defines the value of system variables for all time
- Uninterpreted - the system variables are undefined in the model over some interval(s) of time
- What's the purpose of interpreted models?
- They very concisely represent the system
- They simulate much faster
- They provide a mechanism for system conceptualization
