The Generic Metamodel, the Conflict Modelling Cycle and Decision Support

Abstract

Metamodels provide a mechanism for guidance in modelling. They offer a structured approach, which is appropriate for the modelling of situations and processes. An example of a metamodel is a modelling cycle, and one is proposed suitable for conflict processes in groups with critical size. The way in which such a modelling cycle can be implemented on a computer system for decision support is discussed.
