The Objective Model

The objective modeF derives its name from a pluralistic conceptualization of the species possible on an inorganic hydroxyl surface. This conceptualization, as will emerge clearly from the following list of model hypotheses, includes features of both the constant capacitance and the triple layer model. 

Surface complexation involves all four of the planes depicted in Fig. 5.4. Complexed protons and hydroxide ions reside in the s plane, inner-sphere complexes containing trace metal cations or oxyanions are assigned to the a plane, outer-sphere complexes with the ions of a background electrolyte are assigned to the j3 plane, and the d plane marks the beginning of the aqueous solution phase, where the diffuse ion swarm is found. 

Equation 5.74 represents a set of coupled algebraic equations (one for each adsorbed species in the plane A) that is subject to the mole-bulancc 

The relationships between surface charge density and inner potential are specified by expressions similar to Eq. 5.58  

Equations 5.58c, 5.76, and 5.77 define the charge-potential relations in the objective model for any set of adsorbed species in any plane or in the diffuse ion swarm.

The similarity of samples can be evaluated by using geometrical constructs based on the standard deviation of the objects modeled by SIMCA. By enclosing classes in volume elements in descriptor space, the SIMCA method provides information about the existence of similarities among the members of the defined classes. Relations among samples, when visualized in this way, increase one s ability to formulate questions or hypotheses about the data being examined. The selection of variables on the basis of MPOW also provides clues as to how samples within a class are similar, and the derived class model describes how the objects are similar, with regard to the internal variation of these variables. 

The database has been designed using object-modeHng techniques. In this section we give a brief introduction to the object modeling approach and explain the used notation. For a full introduction to object modeUng, see [2]. 

Although surface complexes are considered in the objective model in the spirit of Fig. 5.4, no complexation reactions or equilibrium constants are used. Instead, the activity relations in Eqs. 5.72 and 5.73 are invoked to describe complex formation. Equation 5.72 is identical with the equation for the activity of an adsorbed species that experiences no lateral interactions on a surface. On the other hand, Eq. 5.73 can be derived by applying Eq. 3.20 to an adsorbed species under the assumption that the inner potential, (f>, can be equated to...

The work of the construction of three-dimensional scene is mainly to make each individual object integrated in the model of Unity3D (integration of terrain) while adding relevant environmental, physical and other elements to form a complete three-dimensional virtual reality simulation scenario.

The other parts of the ISA-95 specifications flesh out the details inside level 3 and the interface between levels 3 and 4. Part 2 extends the object models of Part 1 with the attributes that will store the information normally required about them. Part 3 defines the activities involved in level 3 in more detail and how they relate to each other. Part 4 defines the objects and attributes that will be exchanged among the activities inside level 3. Finally, part 5 defines a set of business-to-manufacturing transactions between levels 3 and 4, providing a list of verbs and their compatible nouns and defining their abstract message format. 

The persistence layer is based on the object model in ISA-95 part 2, with some changes attempting to reduce the large amount of duplication present in the specification and some omissions. For instance, the idea of a Unit is left in ISA-95 as a single string ( meters ), without regards for the complex issues involving unit-based arithmetic, conversions and comparisons. Likewise, a new Property concept has been added as a base class for all the property classes within the data model. 

Equation (6.12) comprises all possible relationships that may exist in system instance w. To keep the model simple, we will refer to the problem model Eq. (6.3) as the object model and to the set of relationships as R. A problem model is an abstract representation of a problem domain—a meta-model. Ontological commitments are for developing a data model out of this meta-model. These commitments are interfaces between abstract problem representation and real world data storage. Rearranging the standard definition, we can define a model M as a stmcture (S, /), where S = (T, R) is a global stmcture (standard system definition) and 7 is an interpretation function assigning elements of T to constant symbols (variables) of V. 

Given that the simulation model is generally used to evaluate fixed supply chain configuration, it is developed on the basis of the object model containing objects, which are instances of classes defined in the class diagram of the generic supply chain unit. 

The formulated optimization model defines relationships between the physical and information flows and takes into account QoS requirements for efficient information processing. Preliminary experimental results show that the information flows indeed affect selection of appropriate physical supply chain units. However, the QoS requirements have minor impact of the supply chain configuration decisions for the test supply chain analyzed in the chapter. An alternative approach to including QoS criteria directly in the objective model would be the specification of minimum quality requirements in the form of constraints. That would also alleviate the problem of selecting appropriate weights for multi-criteria optimization. The QoS characteristics also have impact on customer demand which could also be represented in the optimization model. 

The whole design of Hybrex WEB and its components heavily depends on the strict separate development of the object model from the rest of the application. This is a widely appreciated design pattern found frequently in the object oriented world... 

Any other (Java-) application can directly use Hybrex for calculation by addressing one function expecting the object model and reading the model with the calculated result values in return. Thus, It only needs to describe a mill using the model bean and trigger a calculation on the server. 

Whereas the interface specification is the core of the transmission system that connects different software systems, regardless of platform and language, the object model template is the language spoken over that line. 

The object models, then, describe the objects chosen to represent real world, their attributes and interactions and their level of detail.

When a schematic representing the system is defined, e.g. in the form of equations (1) or (2), then, the aim of the object modelling is to fit the model parameters so that the discrepancy between model (network) response y and the object response (drying process) y for identical inputs be the least possible... 

In this section, the concept of the simulation framework and simulation domains is presented. The goal is to define concepts and their relations based on definitions from the previous section. The object model and architecture is defined independently of its implementation because ontologies described in Sect. 10.5 represent only one way of machine-readable form.
