Multiple-Scale Systems Modeling: Three Cases Represented by a Computerized Platform.
Gerardo L. Febres · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2017
This paper presents some results of a platform for the modeling and visualization of complex systems. The platform has the capacity to represent different aspects of complex models at different observation scales simultaneously. This tool offers advantages in the sense of favoring the perception of the phenomenon of the emergence of information, associated with changes of scale. Some criteria used for the construction of this modeling platform, as well as some data abstraction tools designed for this purpose are included. One of the techniques that has recently emerged for the analysis of complex systems is based on graphical representation. The ability of current computers has made viable the use of graphic resources such as shapes, colors and transparencies for the graphic modeling of systems made up of many elements. By visualizing diagrams, conveniently designed to highlight contrasts, these modeling platforms allow the recognition of patterns that drive our understanding of systems and their structure. Graphs that reflect the benefits of the tool in the visualization of systems at different scales of observation are presented to illustrate the application of the system.
