ABSTRACT
Concepts of information have become increasingly important in all branches of science, and especially in modeling and simulation. In the limit, we can view all of science as a kind of modeling. While models can be physical or scale models, more typically we are referring to mathematical or linguistic models, such as F = ma, where we measure quantities for mass m and acceleration a, and try to predict another measured quantity force F. More cogently to the readers of this volume, computer simulation models manifest such mathematical formalisms to produce numerical predictions of some technical systems.
