A framework for model integration and holistic modelling of socio-technical systems

作者：

Highlights：

• Modelling plays a critical role in the engineering of socio-technical systems (STS).

• Show a layered framework to integrate discipline-specific models into holistic model

• It decomposes a model into components by context (STS element type) and layer.

• Links between models are then made based on similar/overlapping components.

• We integrate an Agent Based Model, Bayesian Network and Business Process Model.

摘要

This paper presents a layered framework for the purposes of integrating different socio-technical systems (STS) models and perspectives into a whole-of-systems model. Holistic modelling plays a critical role in the engineering of STS due to the interplay between social and technical elements within these systems and resulting emergent behaviour.
