The behavioral approach to model open and interconnected systems was initiated in 1986 by Jan C. Willems. The aim of this theory is to create a common ground for the description of the interrelation between signals of dynamical systems which which incorporates autonomous systems as well as input-output systems as special cases.
 * encourages the use of first principles,
 * imposes no cause and effect relations,
 * allows interconnections withs shared variables,
