Glossary Element  Modelling

Modelling is a method for building a model, i.e., an abstract representation of a system, its components and its environment, and/or applying it to imitate the behaviour of a real-world process or system over time. An example of a qualitative model is a flow chart, and an example of quantitative model is a set of mathematical equations.
