Introduction to

Behavioral Models
Behavioral models are models of the dynamic behavior of a system as it is
executing. They show what happens or what is supposed to happen when a
system responds to a stimulus from its environment. These stimuli may be either
data or events: 1. Data becomes available that has to be processed by the system.
The availability of the data triggers the processing. 2. An event happens that
triggers system processing. Events may have associated data, although this is not
always the case.

1- Data-Driven Modeling
Data-driven modeling is the process of using data to build and validate
mathematical models that can be used to make predictions, uncover insights, and
drive decision-making. This approach is transforming industries and
organizations across the globe.
