The two chapters in this section raise issues that apply to the overall process of creating an implementation model.

Chapter 1, Implementation Modeling Heuristics Overview, introduces a set of guidelines that allow estimation of the quality of an implementation. Chapter 2, Identifying Implementation Constraints, discusses the limits that constrain the application of technology to implement an essential model. An optimum design may be thought of as one that rates as high as possible based on the quality guidelines without violating the implementation constraints.
