problems. Though the focus of modelling and simulation is on the behaviour of dynamical (i.e., time-varying) systems, static systems (such as entity-relationship models and class diagrams, described in the Unied Modelling Language UML [RJB99]) are a limit-case. Both physical (obeying conservation and constraint laws) and non-physical ...
