Abstract

The most common mistake in modeling systems is mixing elements of different levels in the same model. This paper explains levels, shows how levels can be obtained with decomposition techniques, and gives examples of level models, architectures and frameworks. Examples are given which show the confusion that results when levels are mixed.
