1. A computer-implemented method of modeling a target system, said method comprising:
- populating a data structure with points, each point comprising at least one target value associated with at least one system parameter value of said target system;
searching said data structure with at least one inquiry parameter value; and
interpolating a return value for said at least one inquiry parameter value based on said points in response to said searching of said data structure resulting in a failure to find a point in the data structure corresponding to the at least one inquiry parameter value.

Abstract
In a method of modeling a target system, a data structure is populated with points, where each point includes at least one target value associated with at least one system parameter value of the target system. The data structure is searched with at least one inquiry parameter value. A return value is interpolated for at least one inquiry parameter value based on the points.

14. A computer implemented method of adding points, said method comprising:
-
instantiating a data structure with zero or more initial points; selecting at least one target inquiry value; determining a point for said at least one target inquiry value;
inserting said point into said data structure;returning a value in response to an inquiry into said data structure using at least one inquiry value; monitoring an metric associated with said inquiry; interpolating an additional target inquiry value in response to said metric not meeting a user-specified criterion; determining a respective point for said additional target inquiry value; and adding said respective point for said additional target inquiry value to said data structure. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
