In systems engineering, software engineering, and computer science, a function model or functional model is a structured representation of the functions (activities, actions, processes, …

1. Functions. These are discrete tasks (or activities) that accept inputs and transform them into outputs. Functions may be decomposed into sub-functions. Individual functions are incapable …

Function structures are used as reference as they represent one of the most widespread function modeling approaches in research and practice. Both function structures and the IFM …

Model structure is the first thing we need to decide in model identification/modeling. Model structures include auto-regressive with eXtra inputs (ARX) model, auto-regressive moving …

Elements are categorized into five types (so-called primitive entity, compound entity, attribute, function, and test), grouped by similarity into any number of classes called genera, and …

Mar 5, 2018 · In the life sciences, extensive knowledge of cell biology provides an opportunity to design visible neural networks (VNNs) that couple the model's inner workings to those of real …

In this paper, we provide design guidelines for FM construction from the exploration of the relationship between FM structure and complexity. FM structure refers to the structure of a …

Jan 1, 2015 · In this chapter, an extended inverse problem (EIP) isformulated for identifying both the model structure and modelparameters using observation data and prior information. After …

Here we develop DCell, a VNN embedded in the hierarchical structure of 2,526 subsystems comprising a eukaryotic cell (http://d-cell.ucsd.edu/). Trained on several million genotypes, …

Medicine is now at a turning point. The important role of a broader application of the structure-function model in health care is gaining recognition and it may, in fact, be a defining principle …
