Modeling With the Behavioral Toolbox

Abstract

In this paper we describe the main features of the Behavioral Toolbox for modeling of dynamical systems. The Toolbox, recently developed at the University of Groningen, implements the ideas on modeling which are at the heart of behavioral systems theory. In particular, it does not rely on predefined input/output descriptions and thus allows great flexibility in defining interconnections between systems. By means of an example we show how the different phases of a modeling and simulation session can be tackled within the framework provided by the Behavioral Toolbox.
