Key Words and Summary
Notation: System, model and environment. Distributed real systems. The (maximal) signal propagation speed in a system. Simultaneousness: concurrency plus coincidence. The conflict situation, the glitch phenomenon. Different models, their aims: for planning and forecast; their types: material and abstract. Modelling vs. experiments. Analogy, correlation, timing, and causality. Time considerations in systems, models, and nets. An example of coordination of concurrent processes.
