The Structure-Behavior Coalescence Approach for Systems Modeling

The systems modeling technique is used for developing an abstract model to help analyze and understand the functionality of a system. In this paper, we introduce a new approach for general-purpose systems modeling called structure-behavior coalescence (SBC), which supports the integration of modelin...
