Mjukvaruindustrin är idag en av de viktigaste industrierna i världen, och flerparten av de apparater vi använder innehåller mjukvara. Eftersom mjukvara har både en litterär del och en uppfinningsrik del har det varit oklart hur mjukvara ska skyddas. Den kan skyddas av patent, som täcker idén bakom programmet, och upphovsrätt, som täcker uttrycket av idén. Ett program endast skyddat av upphovsrättThe software industry is today one of the most important industries, and almost all devices we use contain some piece of software. As software has both a literal expression and an inventive aspect, it has been unclear which way the intellectual property should be protected.

A model is used to describe a system physically or mathematically and to give information about changes in the system variables. Physical knowledge about the system and its quantities can be useful to build a physical model obeying the laws of nature. However, if the system is to be regarded as a black box with only input and output signals, system identification can be used to fit a mathematical
