Generic Bi-layered Net, as the Natural Computational Model of Conservation and Information Processes

In Direct Computer Mapping the simple building blocks of the conservational and informational processes are mapped onto the generic “active” and “passive” elements of an executable program. The recently developed Generic Bi-layered Net model provides a common framework for the simulation of the hybrid (continuous and discrete, quantitative and qualitative) balance-based and rule-based processes. The common features of the process models are represented by a bi-layered net of variable structure that also determines the network (ring) structures of the influence routes and flux routes, as well as the Gantt Chart view of the process. The advantage of the new methodology is that the computational model is specified by the very structures and building elements of the process to be modeled. The software implementation of Generic Bi-layered Net model onto an executable program or dynamic database has been applied for the solution of various difficult practical problems.
