A system is a collection of interacting components of interest separated from the environment by a physical/virtual boundary.
A dynamic system is a system where the rate of change of its states or responses with time cannot be neglected. We deal with causal systems with memory.
Modeling
Abstractions and simplifications all the way down.
Models of dynamic systems can be used for:
- Design/synthesis
- Analysis/prediction
- Control
- Diagnosis/health monitoring
- System identification
