Figure 14-1 shows the set of process models that have been included as submodels in the<br />

system model, and how the submodels are linked to each other. Further description of different<br />

submodels, benchmarking results etc. are provided in /14-5/. The model will be used as one of<br />

several tools with which the general system evolution can be studied in the SR-Can project.<br />
