The Interpretive Structural Modeling System.

Abstract

The interpretive structural modeling process transforms unclear, poorly articulated mental models of systems into visible, well-defined models useful for many purposes. This is done through the systematic iterative application of graph theory to produce a directed graph of a particular contextual relationship among an element set. This manual briefly describes interpretive structural modeling, then documents an interactive computer program developed to assist in the modeling process. The program is written in FORTRAN and operates on a Honeywell H6000 under GCOS TSS. (Author)
