论文摘要
本文旨在进一步理解系统的数学和概念建模中的动态性(系统模型的动态行为)。这项研究是在声称软件工程缺乏基础科学理论的背景下进行的,无论是针对其生产的软件还是这样做的过程。研究文献提出,信息理论可以为软件工程提供如此好处。我们探索概念建模作为软件工程工具的动态表达力,可以代表Shannon Weaver通信模型(SWCM)中的物理系统。具体而言,SWCM中的建模源是一种物理现象(一种可能发生在世界上的变化,例如扔硬币),导致生成可观察到的事件和未解决信息的数据。最终的模型反映了将SWCM扩展到软件工程中的概念建模中的可行性。
This paper aims to contribute to further understanding of dynamism (the dynamic behavior of system models) in the mathematical and conceptual modeling of systems. This study is conducted in the context of the claim that software engineering lacks underpinning scientific theories, both for the software it produces and the processes by which it does so. The research literature proposes that information theory can provide such a benefit for software engineering. We explore the dynamism expressive power of conceptual modeling as a software engineering tool that can represent physical systems in the Shannon Weaver communication model (SWCM). Specifically, the modeled source in the SWCM is a physical phenomenon (a change that can occur in the world, e.g., tossing a coin) resulting in generating observable events and data of unaddressed information. The resultant model reflects the feasibility of extending the SWCM to be applied in conceptual modeling in software engineering.
