Abstract :
The aim in this paper is to review some of the approaches available for developing quantitative models of dynamic processes in system development. The review is performed through a systems engineering perspective with the intension of guiding systems engineering students and practitioners in the modeling process. The major conclusion drawn from the study is that some formal approaches to hierarchical system modeling should receive more attention in the treatment of the subject matter
