Models, Models, Models…

1996
When looking at relationships between two quantities, we are often interested in fitting a mathematical function to describe this relationship. Statisticians call these functions models. This activity uses data on levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at a site in Hawaii to illustrate fitting a model to data.

Model is as model does

Nature Cell Biology, 2000
Kids love models, and on page 792 of this issue Shimizu et al. give us an early Christmas present. Using plastic replicas of the CheA, CheW, and Tsr protein structures, they assembled the pieces like a jigsaw puzzle.

Models, Models, and Models

Metaphilosophy, 2013
AbstractMichael Dummett famously maintained that analytic philosophy was simply philosophy that followed Frege in treating the philosophy of language as the basis for all other philosophy (1978, 441). But one important insight to emerge from computer science is how difficult it is to animate the linguistic artifacts that the analysis of thought ...

Modelling contexts in the Or-BAC model

19th Annual Computer Security Applications Conference, 2003. Proceedings., 2004
As computer infrastructures become more complex, security models must provide means to handle more flexible and dynamic requirements. In the organization based access control (Or-BAC) model, it is possible to express such requirements using the notion of context.

Models, models, models: a deflationary view

Synthese, 2018
In this essay, I first consider a popular view of models and modeling, the similarity view. Second, I contend that arguments for it fail and it suffers from what I call “Hughes’ worry.” Third, I offer a deflationary approach to models and modeling that avoids Hughes’ worry and shows how scientific representations are of apiece with other types of ...

Modeling Business Models

Design Issues, 2014
Business model design does not always produce a “design” or “model” as the expected result. However, when designers are involved, a visual model or artifact is produced. To assist strategic managers in thinking about how they can act, the designers’ challenge is to combine both strategy and design notions. The intent of this article is to gain a better

Model Transformations with Reference Models

2007
In this paper we introduce and explore an extension to the existing paradigm of model transformation. Specifically, we extend existing model transformation approaches by considering reference models and human input as important sources for and during model transformation.

On Models, Modelling, and the Exemplary

2000
Abstract We may recall the statement that to imitate is to follow the example of exemplary models. The method is a central characteristic of the exemplary society. But learning from models is more than a simple pedagogical method. It represents the culmination of an imitative-repetitive culture. The Confucian view assumes that men are

Models, Models and More Models

2011
This chapter investigates the main approaches used to analyze competition for investment through investment incentives. We begin with general approaches to assessing the use of incentives, including Prisoners’ Dilemma, models in the Tiebout (1956) tradition, incentives as necessary to generate spillovers and the global vs. local efficiency matrix. Next,
