In a generic definition it is an information entity corresponding with a system in a formal relationship that condenses several essential features to define the system . Commonly, systems need models to incorporate usable knowledge concerning the structural and functional baselines of readiness operative. Models are abstractions of reality that contain just the essential aspects of this reality concerning the system ( Selic, 2003 ). The function of a model regards both the interpretation and the understanding of the system, as well as the drawing of conclusions in the form of other subsequent and usable models. This work proposes to build models that provide causal connections with the inner context of the system at runtime. Learn more in: The Exploitation of Models in Artificial Emotions
