What is a Model?

27.08.2011 4 / 17 ITP MathWikis Workshop, Nijmegen

A mathematical model is “a representation

  • f the essential aspects of an existing

system (or a system to be constructed) which presents knowledge of that system in usable form”. Pieter Eykhoff (1974)

What is a Model?

  • Descriptive models

– Explain aspects of existing systems – Physical, sociological, or economical systems

  • Constructive models

– Describe systems to be constructed as part of

engineering tasks or processes

  • Abstract models

– Model a certain class of phenomena – Not (yet) applied to a specific system

Goals and Vision

  • Repository of mathematical models

– Well-structured representation – Formally defined – Visualizations – model-specifc simulations – Searchable (by categories, keyword, etc.) – Accessible and editable via the Web – Composition of models

Goals and Vision

  • Support for

– Interactive creation, publishing and

maintaining of models

– Building a community – Quality evaluation of models

Outlook

  • Going online in Oktober 2011
  • Building a user community

– Increase the number of models

  • Improve the platform

– Better integration of simulations – Supporting external simulations

  • Long term goal:

– Composition of models
