Developing Models Based on Real Environments

Abstract

All of the applications of information engineering are based on a correct model of the environment the applications represent. Unlike artificial environments, real environments cannot be modelled correctly. Firstly because the behaviour of the real environments also depends on the behaviour of other environments also. These relations cannot be revealed at the time the model is constructed. Therefore the boundaries of a real environment cannot be defined correctly. The only thing the model-designer can do is to define a model describing the behaviour of the environment to be modelled with no inconsistencies at the time the model is constructed. Therefore each model based on real environments needs to be redesigned continuously as the time passes to provide their consistency. It is only feasible using adaptive knowledge-intensive modelling tools. This paper shows a new concept for modelling real environment.
