Abstract
Models are a universal and widely used instrument in Computer Science and Computer Engineering. There is a large variety of notions of models. A model functions in a utilisation scenario as an instrument. It is well-formed, adequate and dependable. It represents or deputes origins. This conception of the model is a very general one. Based on the notion of a stereotype as a starting point we show that specific or particular model notions are specialisations of the general notion.
