A model is an abstract representation of a system, constructed to understand the system prior to building or modifying it. It is a model of a simplified representation of reality. Models can represent static or dynamic situations.
Static model
It can be viewed as a snapshot of a systems parameters at rest or a specific point in time. They are needed to represent the structural or static aspect of a system. The UML class diagram is an example of static model.
Dynamic model
It can be viewed as a collection of procedures or behaviors that taken together reflect the behavior of a system over time. Dynamic modeling is the most useful during the design and implementation phases of the system development. The UML interaction diagrams and activity models are examples of dynamic models.
