Documenting the Modeling Process
December 07 at 11 am NY | 4 pm London | 11 pm Beijing | Time Converter
Join us for another webinar!
This presentation will describe data structuring and then focus on the many advantages of documenting the modeling process with such a structure, including a demonstration of an online database specifically designed for documenting the process of building a simulation model called DynamicVu.
The presentation is based on the recent System Dynamics Review article Documenting the modeling process with a standardized data structure described and implemented in DynamicVu

2022 Conference Highlight
Is System Dynamics the Missing Subject in our Educational System?
Is System Dynamics so valuable that we should encourage its inclusion in our educational system? This year, presentations at International System Dynamics Conference (ISDC) supported this hypothesis. The President of System Dynamics Society, Shayne Gary, noted a growing trend in appreciating systems thinking as a useful tool to explain complexities. The ever-expanding requirement to cope with a complex world opens room for increased utilization of System Dynamics in our daily life. The power of the method was proved in the global study “Limits to Growth” fifty years ago. Jorgen Randers reflected on this Anniversary by comparing the initial study results with today’s worldwide situation. The project signals one of the most important features of System Dynamics, the capacity to describe phenomena and present their behavior in time, on a global scale.

Jay Forrester Seminar Series
Mini-Courses to Develop System Dynamics Skills
The Jay Forrester Seminar Series consists of lectures and discussions conducted by the founder of the field with his Ph.D. students in the fall of 1999 at the MIT Sloan School of Management. The series was recorded by Susan Forrester and the Society used to handle this resource in a DVD.
For the past year, a group of volunteers has been working on this valuable material. They completely revamped the series into a more accessible, on-demand, online course.
A total of 11 courses will be available throughout the next months. Three of them have been released already! Select from rich and engaging mini-courses with discussion questions to interact with other students, quizzes to test your knowledge, and readings to dive deeper. The first mini-course is free for everyone!
Mini-Courses are FREE for Society members | $25 for non-members.
