• Model:
• Topics A representation of a system (in some form other than the
system itself) that can predict its behavior in response to
• Motivation inputs

• Introduction • System:
A subset of reality that is characterized by a set of attributes

• Policy System Description

• A systems can be described in terms of:
• Topics - objects: elements of interest that is characterized by
certain functions (e.g., motor, compressor, mechanism,
sensor, etc.)
• Motivation
- Attributes: properties that describe certain aspects of the
system elements (e.g., velocity, pressure, temperature, etc.)
• Introduction - Boundaries: separate the system from its environment (can
be physical or conceptual)
• What’s next - Activities: actions that affect the system (can be
endogenous or exogenous)

• Policy Fundamentals of Modelling

• on the one hand, a model should not contain unnecessary
• Topics details and become needlessly complex and difficult to
analyse
• Motivation
• on the other hand, it should not exclude the essential
• Introduction details (i.e., physical features) of what it represents

• What’s next • “nobody solves the problem; rather, everybody solves the
model that is constructed for the problem.”
