Abstract

The definition of “methodology” is followed by a very brief review of past work in modeling methodologies. The dual role of a methodology is explained: (1) conceptual guidance in the modeling task, and (2) definition of needs for environment designers. A model development environment based on the conical methodology serves for specific illustration of both roles.
