Modelling unit processes using formal language description and object-orientation
S. O. Wasb⊘, Bjarne A. Foss · Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems · 1998
In this article we demonstrate how object-orientation and formal languages can be applied in modelling unit processes. We suggest a model representation where unit processes are decomposed into a two-level hierarchy based on a set of elementary building blocks. The formal language description is used as an alternative representation of the model. Wcshow how it can be used for checking model consistency and as a basis to derive model equations. The possible use of the concept in a model assistant is discussed
