This technical note presents a broad overview of a graphical modeling
system referred to as the Graph-Based Modeling System for Structured M
odeling (GBMS/SM) and its applications in model management. GBMS/SM is
a comprehensive modeling system that supports model formulation, main
tenance and solution. The model schema in GBMS/SM is specified using a
graphical user interface and is based on a modeling framework called
model graphs. These graphs are based on the core concepts of Structure
d Modeling. GBMS/SM has links to relational database tables and spread
sheets and supports a wide variety of applications belonging to differ
ent domains. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
