Computer modeling

This arti­cle explic­it­ly address­es the sim­i­lar­i­ties and dif­fer­ences of men­tal mod­els and com­put­er mod­els, as well as between opti­miza­tion mod­els and sim­u­la­tion mod­els. Sim­u­la­tion mod­el­ing focus­es on learn­ing about the sys­tem rather than pro­vid­ing answers.
