Description of a System behavior in response to the parameters to which the system is sensitive to (see Fig. 1).
Modern Models are usually implemented in the form of a computer software which provides interface to:
| Supply the Model Inputs | → | Initiate a Model Run | → | Retrieve the Model Outputs |

It normally follows the Model Description Protocol:
A System may have many Models depending on which System properties are taken as Model Inputs and Model Outputs.
The Model may have some governing properties which can be trained to make Model output fit the experimental data.
The results of the training should be qualified by means of Model Validation.
