Abstract
A macromodel should have the following features:
-
Both the structure and the function of the system should be reflected in the mathematical properties of the macromodel.
-
A suitable formalization of a macromodel may be obtained using abstract automata theory. Every module has a description of the form with inputs yi, outputs xi and states zi. A macromodel also has overall inputs (controls) and outputs (global indicators).
-
All of the models considered (including macromodels) should be robust against amplitude-bounded stochastic disturbances.
-
A macromodel should be based on a systems concept obtained through some compromise between the following dialectical contradictions: global/local; static/dynamic; discontinuity/ continuity; randomness/necessity; cooperation/competition; autonomy/control.
-
Macromodels are usually highly nonlinear dynamical systems with eigen-dynamics and eigen-preferences.
We snould not try to control a macrosystem against its eigendynamics.
