Model World: A Model Is a Model Is a Model Is a Model
Interfaces, 1989This occasional column will address issues — both real and imaginary — that impinge on what I think is the main activity of management science/operations research: building models that attempt to describe the world as it was, as it is, and as it will be.

Caries Research, 2015
Developing experimental models to understand dental caries has been the theme in our research group. Our first, the pH-cycling model, was developed to investigate the chemical reactions in enamel or dentine, which lead to dental caries. It aimed to leverage our understanding of the fluoride mode of action and was also utilized for the formulation of ...

Models, modelling and modellers: an application to risk analysis
European Journal of Operational Research, 1994Risk analysis has become increasingly important with the emergence of new, unknown and potentially dangerous technologies. Risk analysis builds on the use of models. If the models are valid representations of reality, they can be used to predict and thus also to minimize the risks.

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.

Interactions, 2009
Editor's note: This forum presents models relevant to interaction design and service design. It describes the models, how they might be used, and why they matter. It also describes the models' origins and contrasts related models.

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.

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., 2004As 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, 2018In 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 ...

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
