+Temporal Modeling is way of modeling software systems and components by putting events first.
+
+The usual way of modeling software is to find structures, things and relations.
+We try to find the relevant aspects of a domain and put all properties into an object-oriented model.
+Trying to create a second model for a related business process, having the structural model already in place,
+might result in a process representation that is tightly coupled with the assumptions built up from the structural
+model and too far away from reality.
+
+By focusing on the domain processes first, one can visualize all aspects of a process over time.
+Having the process visualized, allows to see potential pitfalls or forgotten aspects.
+With a temporal model at hand, it is easy to create a object-oriented or structural model that perfectly
+represents all required information.
+
+We tried this method when tackling big or complex domains.
