[Folk] A model is an abstract, formal, mathematical representation or description of structure or behaviour of a (software) system. Definition. ( ? , 425) A model is a concrete or mental image (Abbild) of something or a concrete or mental archetype (Vorbild) for something. Three properties are constituent: (i) the image attribute (Abbildungsmerkmal), i.e. there is an entity (called original) whose image or archetype the model is, (ii) the reduction attribute (Verkürzungsmerkmal), i.e. only those attributes of the original that are relevant in the modelling context are represented, (iii) the pragmatic attribute, i.e. the model is built in a specific context – 1 – 2016-10-18 – Smotivation – for a specific purpose. 4 /34
