7.1 Introduction

This chapter, adapted from Liberty and Saeks (1973, 1974), contains a particular viewpoint on the mathematical modeling of systems that focuses on an explicit algebraic description of system connection information. The resulting system representation is called the component connection model. The component connection approach to system modeling provides useful ways ...
