The following stepwise procedure is adopted while applying “Interpreted Structural
Modeling”:
Step 1: Parameters were funneled using FDM technique and listed for next step.
Step 2: Contextual relationships are established among the parameters listed in Step
1.
Step 3: Structural Self-interaction Matrix (SSIM).
• Keeping in view the contextual relationships of each parameter, the existence of
an interaction and its direction between any two parameters (i and j) was enquired
from a group of experts.
• Four symbols were used to represent possible interaction that exists between any
two parameters i and j.
V: Parameter i influences parameter j
A: Parameter j influences parameter i
X: Both i and j influence each other
O: No interaction between any two parameters
Step 4: Reachability Matrix.
The SSIM format prepared in Step 3 was transformed into the reachability matrix by
replacing symbols (V, A, X and 0) with binary digits, 0 and 1. Rule of replacement
is as follows (Table 2):
Step 5: Partitions on the reachability matrix.
After the grounding of reachability matrix, it was processed to extract the digraph
and associate structural models.
