Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of formal (quantitative) and soft (qualitative) modelling of a flow of information in autonomous systems that in a real life context are formed by sub-components consisting of people, machines, robots, etc. Models in management science are constructed and applied in order to describe, understand, and finally support processes and activities that are primarily intellectual. The problems addressed by these models may arise so frequently that the benefits of standardisation are sought, or else they may be one-of-a-kind situations of such importance that steps are taken to improve the quality of a decision that has been taken. In other words, models are developed mainly to create knowledge. This is also the main purpose of the modelling platform proposed in this paper.
