Abstract: |
The modeling of a human organization for the analysis of its
behavior in response to external stimuli is a complex problem and requires
development and interoperation of a set of several models. Each model, developed using different modeling languages but
the same data, offers unique insights and makes specific assumptions about
the organization being modeled. Interoperation of such models can produce a
more robust modeling and simulation capability to support analysis and
evaluation of the organizational behavior. Meta-modeling analysis based on
Concept Maps and Ontologies indicates what types of
interoperation are valid between models expressed in different modeling
languages. The approach is illustrated through several examples focusing on
the use of Social Networks, Timed Influence Nets (a variant of Bayes Nets), and Colored Petri nets. |
