Abstract
An approach to model complexity is outlined which is based upon a hierarchy of system specifications and morphisms, and related complexity measures. The measures are justified in terms of the resources required by a computational process which generates model behavior given model structure. We study whether the complexity tends to decrease or not, when a lumped model is related to its original base model by a morphism.Keywords
