Abstract
This section is concerned with the structure of STIFS and the effect it exerts on the model evaluation process. In order to present the subject matter in a more coherent manner as well as promote a smooth transition to the latter parts of the report, this section begins with a brief discussion of the "ideal" model evaluation process. Several of these issues, especially with respect to the implied linearity of STIFS, are addressed in more detail in section 2.2 The structure of the data bases and the STIFS software are discussed in section 2.3. Some comments relating to the STIFS documentation and source code are also advanced.
