The act or art of making a model from which a work of art is to be executed; the formation of a work of art from some plastic material
In a loose sense, modeling simply refers to creating a simplified representation of something else A model can be a picture, a diagram or a mathematical formula In this book, we have used modeling in the sense of business process modeling - to create a diagrammatic representation of how work is done In a rigorous sense, a model must specify formal relationships and assumptions that can be tested
An investigative technique using a mathematical or physical representation of a system or theory that accounts for all or some of its known properties Models are often used to test the effect of changes of system components on the overall performance of the system
The activity of recreating the functions and aspects of a model When a novice sales person watches an expert make a sales call, and then mimics the expert's tone and wording, he or she is exhibiting a modeling process
A process by which the characteristics of one signal are applied to another Roland's advanced COSM modeling creates realistic emulations of popular and classic microphones, guitars, guitar amplifiers and studio reference speakers
Using mathematical methods to simulate processes to predict results In the context of exposure assessment, any mathematical method describing a physical system used to predict the concentration of specific chemicals as a function of space and time subject to transport, intermedia transfer, storage, and degradation in the environment
providing the observer with a walk-through sample of a process or a level of expectation Especially helpful in making concepts or strategies or standards less abstract
Analyzing the specific behaviors and thinking patterns of another person or system in order to duplicate their successful results
The representation of a physical system by a set of mathematical relationships that allow the response of the system to various alternative inputs to be predicted
is an investigative technique which uses a mathematical or physical representation of a system or theory to test for effects that changes in system components may have on the overall functioning of the system Mathematical modeling using computers plays a major role in climate research, by simulating how Earth's climate will respond to changes in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases
Either acting as behavioral model for others, as when doing demonstration, or the process of making explicit the sequences of thoughts and behavior that enable someone to perform a skill or task Modeling is the basis of both NLP and accelerated learning
"Development of a mathematical or physical representation of a system or theory that accounts for all or some of its known properties Models are often used to test the effect of changes of components on the overall performance of the system" (EPA 1992, 18)
The use of mathematics to describe a situation or a physical object Mathematical formulas can be used to manipulate data, to develop business plans and projections, or to evaluate the impact of proposed changes on a company's operations and financial status
