Abstract
Situation modeling is the process of conceptually defining what constitutes an actionable situation in the application designer’s domain. It allows the designer to externalize what she means by a specific situation of interest (e.g., an “epidemic”). Building this model in terms of conceptual building blocks rather than directly implementing them in code has multiple advantages. First, the application designers get to focus on the “big picture” rather than getting bogged down by the implementation details. Next, such a process encourages a goal-driven thinking rather than an availability-driven thinking [3]. Lastly, the modeling in terms of generic blocks allows for easy reuse of components across applications.

Hence, here the intended “user” is a domain expert/application designer.
