System Modeling Task

A System Modeling Task is a modeling task for systems.

• Context:
  • Task Input: system components, system behaviors
    • Optional Input: system constraints, system environment, historical data
  • Task Output: system models, model documentation
  • Task Performance Measure: model accuracy, model completeness, model consistency
  • ...
  • It can (typically) capture System Structure through system structural modeling tasks and system component modeling tasks.
  • It can (typically) represent System Behavior through system behavioral modeling tasks and system state modeling tasks.
  • It can (typically) describe System Interface via system interface modeling tasks and system interaction modeling tasks.
  • It can (typically) document System Process using system process modeling tasks and system flow modeling tasks.
  • It can (often) incorporate System Constraint through system constraint modeling tasks and validation rules.
  • It can (often) analyze System Performance using system simulation modeling tasks and metrics.
  • It can (often) evaluate System Environment via system context modeling tasks and boundary definitions.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Design System Modeling Task to being a Natural System Modeling Task, depending on its system type.
  • It can range from being a Static System Modeling Task to being a Dynamic System Modeling Task, depending on its modeling focus.
  • It can range from being a Simple System Modeling Task to being a Complex System Modeling Task, depending on its system scope.
  • ...
