Systems Analysis and Modeling presents a fresh, new approach to systems analysis and modeling with a systems science flavor that stimulates systems thinking. After introducing systems modeling principles, the ensuing wide selection of examples aptly illustrate that anything which changes over time can be modeled as a system. Each example begins with a knowledge base that displays relevant information obtained from systems analysis. The diversity of examples clearly establishes a new protocol for synthesizing systems models. - Macro-to-micro, top-down approach - Multidisciplinary examples - Incorporation of human knowledge to synthesise a systems model - Clear and concise systems delimitation - Complex systems using simple mathematics - "Exact" reproduction of historical data plus model generated secondary data - Systems simulation via systems models

This book explains how to model a problem domain by abstracting objects, attributes, and relationships from observations of the real world. It provides a wealth of examples, guidelines, and suggestions based on the authors' extensive experience in both real time and commercial software development. This book describes the first of three steps in the method of Object-Oriented Analysis. Subsequent steps are described in Object Lifecycles by the same authors.

Process Modelling and Model Analysis describes the use of models in process engineering. Process engineering is all about manufacturing--of just about anything! To manage processing and manufacturing systematically, the engineer has to bring together many different techniques and analyses of the interaction between various aspects of the process. For example, process engineers would apply models to perform feasibility analyses of novel process designs, assess environmental impact, and detect potential hazards or accidents. To manage complex systems and enable process design, the behavior of systems is reduced to simple mathematical forms. This book provides a systematic approach to the mathematical development of process models and explains how to analyze those models. Additionally, there is a comprehensive bibliography for further reading, a question and answer section, and an accompanying Web site developed by the authors with additional data and exercises. - Introduces a structured modeling methodology emphasizing the importance of the modeling goal and including key steps such as model verification, calibration, and validation - Focuses on novel and advanced modeling techniques such as discrete, hybrid, hierarchical, and empirical modeling - Illustrates the notions, tools, and techniques of process modeling with examples and advances applications
