Abstract

Modelling the functions of technical artefacts like SCPS involve a selection and combination of different perspectives depending on the use of the model in design or operation. The selection is based on distinctions between different contexts of intentions and causal mechanisms and is an important step in framing the modelling problem and choosing its level of abstraction.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Phenomenology was developed by Husserl [3], and Merleau-Ponty [4] for the study of consciousness (and thereby intentions) and its relations to the external world. It plays an important role in the analysis of human perception and cognition.

  2. 2.

    The set-point defines the target value for a physical variable X to be controlled i.e. the value to be achieved or maintained by the control system or the operator.

  3. 3.

    The relation includes both control and operational aspects and may therefore be called an control and operation relation. However, the term control relation is used here for convenience.
