Modeling of Processes, Systems and Knowledge: a Multi-Dimensional Comparison of 13 Chosen Methods.

Modeling methods are apposite for describing complex situations and their relations in the global world of business - a field which is heavily driven by information management systems. Many approaches attempting to discern differences among these methods already exist in literature; however, as we shall argue, to compare all the methods in one-dimension is not appropriate. By carrying on a broad literature study, this examination aims to identify various dimensions in order to create a multidimensional framework for compassion. Thirteen methods, which are based on different backgrounds, will be used as the objects for this evaluation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
