Why finiteness counts

Posted on 2011 January 20 by modelpractice

To study computation we need a theory of finite structures. Neil Immerman’s quotation, illustrated by Hilbert’s hotel. Continue reading →

On Modelling Theory, Abstraction Awareness and Complexity aware Modelling.

Modelling theory is about the mapping from real world to models with main focus on software engineering and related areas like Business Process Modelling. Abstraction is seen as the core of modelling, thus Abstraction Awareness is closely related to Modelling Theory. Also Complexity Aware Modelling is close to Abstraction Awareness and Modelling Theory, since it it about applying results of complexity theory and finite model theory to software modelling, business modelling, systems engineering and software engineering.
