Handbook of Dynamic System Modeling

<p>The topic of dynamic models tends to be splintered across various disciplines making it difficult to uniformly study the subject. Moreover the models have a variety of representations from traditional mathematical notations to diagrammatic and immersive depictions. Collecting all of these expressions of dynamic models the Handbook of Dynamic System Modeling explores a panoply of different types of modeling methods available for dynamical systems.<br><br>Featuring an interdisciplinary balanced approach the handbook focuses on both generalized dynamic knowledge and specific models. It first introduces the general concepts representations and philosophy of dynamic models followed by a section on modeling methodologies that explains how to portray designed models on a computer. After addressing scale heterogeneity and composition issues the book covers specific model types that are often characterized by specific visual- or text-based grammars. It concludes with case studies that employ two well-known commercial packages to construct simulate and analyze dynamic models.<br><br>A complete guide to the fundamentals types and applications of dynamic models this handbook shows how systems function and are represented over time and space and illustrates how to select a particular model based on a specific area of interest.</p>
