 | | Model fragments are conceptual building blocks for programs that formulate and assemble engineering models of device behavior, using techniques such as Compositional Modeling [Falkenhainer and Forbus, AIJ, 1990]. |
 | | It appeared that several modeling approaches, from digital circuit modeling to rigid body dynamics, seemed to be based on a commitment to a class of behavior models called lumped-element models. |
 | | In a lumped-element model, the behavior of a device is described in terms of values of state variables (unary functions) that map a single independent variable (e.g., time, but not space) to physical quantities (of position, force, etc.). |
