Reference behavior

Reference behaviour captures the dynamic (i.e., time-dependent) variation of key attributes of real-world entities. The reference behaviour can be both observed problematic behaviour (e.g., of quality, effort, or cost), which are to be analyzed and improved, and/or a desired behaviour that is to be achieved. It is used in order to make the problem statement suitable for simulation-based problem-solving.
