Autor: Starfield, Anthony M
Jahr: 1990
CONTENTS
PREFACE ix
1 Introducing Models (and this book) 1
A descriptive model of this book, showing how it differs
from most textbooks. A predictive model for estimating
the reading time for this book. Definition of a model. In-
troduction of modeling terms such as variables and
parameters.
2 Time for Ping-Pong? 15
A quick problem that demonstrates, interactively, how ap-
proach and solution depend on resources. This leads nat-
urally to a discussion of the modeling process (intro-
ducing Occam s razor), levels of representation, and
resolution.
3 Purging a Gas Storage Tank 30
Introduction of time dependence. Using heuristics (for ex-
ample, the importance of establishing upper and lower
bounds). The application of tools such as spreadsheets.
Learning to model by jumping in the deep end.
4 The Case of the Hot and Thirsty Executive 54
More practice in devising and using heuristics (e.g., cut-
ting through the Gordian knot). The value of parsimony-
lumped parameters. Interpreting results and presenting
solutions.
vii
Viii CONTENTS
5 Tennis, Anyone? 70
Introduction to decision making under risk; probability and
stochastic modeling. The differences between stochastic
and deterministic modeling. Exploring sensitivity in a sto-
chastic model.
6 Food for Thought 91
The importance of organizing and representing informa-
tion. The use of diagrams and schematics. Project man-
agement by critical-path scheduling.
7 The Student s Dilemma: French, Calculus, Time,
and Money 109
A resource allocation problem. Problems where the solu-
tion depends on only part of the information. Introduction to
constraints and optimization. Graphical representation and
its potency, particularly in sensitivity analysis. Feasible and
infeasible solutions.
8 A Cab Control System 129
Algorithms for special needs. Complexity as a function of
objectives and resources. How to compare algorithms.
Using models to explore system dynamics and to develop
and test hypotheses (the intelligent use of models).
9 The Case of the Dishonest Advertiser 158
Developing and comparing strategies. Inventing scales or
measures where needed, even if they are subjective. Ex-
tensions of stochastic modeling, introducing statistical
distributions. Presentation of results from stochastic mod-
els and exploration of trade-offs. The art of the possible.
10 The Librarian s Dilemma 182
A problem that creates the need for a qualitative knowl-
edge model. Representations such as trees, tables, and
production rules. The need to modify knowledge models
and the importance of explanations.
