Models and Frameworks:
An IntroductionModels are mathematical
representations of a system.Frameworks are qualitative
organizing principles for analyzing
a system.
We can use both models and frameworks to do analysis.

LOOP 2: Are the measures of effectiveness appropriate?
LOOP 3: Is the abstraction good at predicting?
We need to ask, Is the abstraction any good?10

Why Are We Modeling?
Choosing the Best Alternative --Optimization
System Operation
Learn from Model Building Processes Insight
We may gain insight into complex
situations by first understanding simplersituations resembling them.

Modeling for Negotiation
Prodyut Dutt, in A Standards-BasedMethodology for Urban Transportation Planning
in Developing Countries, focused on howplanners work in developing countries versus
the way urban planners work in the developed
world. The essence of his research looked at
the differences in planning methodologiesnecessary in the two environments.
Dutt developed models for negotiation -- theidea oftransparentmodels, where rather thanshielding the outside world from what was going
on within that black box model, planners could
look into the model and clearly see the
assumptions driving the trade-off about locationof corridors in urban areas.13

Getting Answers from ModelsDeveloping a model -- an abstraction -- and
getting results from it are two different things.
Search foralternatives in the
real world
Abstraction of realworld into
model / framework
Prediction ofperformance,
flows, etc.
Evaluation ofalternatives

Selection amongalternatives

Can the model be
solved -- i.e.,produce results?

Models vs. Frameworks
ModelsModels are a mathematical
representation of reality --quantitative in nature.
FrameworksWhen we talk about a framework,
we are generally talking about a
qualitative view of a complexsystem. It is a way of thinking --a way oforganizingour thinkingabout a complex system.
