Abstract

In some cases, we need to know the knowledge of specific process within a complex system of interacting and interdependent phenomena, and then need to reintegrate such knowledge to obtain a comprehensive and accurate solution of the phenomena. Model is ideal to integrate the complex system and to obtain the answer if the condition is. It is merely a useful tool in obtaining answers in the choice of a decision or policy.
