Abstract
Tacitly we all use models all the time to help us understand and operate in the world around us. Modelling is a formal approach to understanding the real world through a simplified external and explicit representation of a mental model which can be manipulated and tested, before being implemented back into the real world. Mikulecky described the underlying mental processes as summarised in Fig. 6.1.
