Abstract
In this paper we give unifying definitions for both hybrid simulation/analytic models and modeling. We present four classes of hybrid simulation/analytic models and give examples of each class, including numerical results for two of the examples Four usages of hybrid simulation/analytic modeling are also presented with examples.
