Beschreibung
This is a monograph on modeling methodology - models focused on policies for sustainable development. Sustainable policies are important because the patterns of the historical development of the worlds industrial, commercial, and economic systems of contemporary society are not projectable - simply not viable over the future. We examine a new concept of societal models, called model ontology. We will see how this can be used to construct information architectures for information systems centered upon specific policy issues. An information-system approach based upon societal modeling is the way models can be useful and important to policy making
