SD Work Related to NASA
Colleagues: One of my students is interested in any system dynamics work that has been done in the area of budgeting and management at NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration - USA). If any of you know of anything, please e-mail me. Thanks. Mike Radzicki ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^...

Petroleum and natural resource production profiles
Brenda: Some of your questions can be answered by pointing your browser to: http://www.systemdynamics.org/distance_learning.htm and clicking on the "Introduction to System Dynamics" tutorial. I originally created this tutorial (with Robert Taylor) for the US Department of Energy. It contai...

Simulation of road accident
Hi Arif: One stream-of-consciousness response that comes to mind upon reading your problem statement below is that the structure of a simple traffic system in which one driver is following another (and even better, if several drivers are following one another in line) is similar (at least at first p...

Optimization and SD
Dear Arnhild: Some references on optimizing SD models that Ive found useful are: 1. Roger Naill. 1976. "Optimizing Models of Social Systems." IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics. pp. 201-207. 2. R. Keloharju and E. F. Wolstenholme. 1988. "The Basic Concepts of System Dyn...

IS-LM model or a like macroeconomic models
Branko: Nathan Forresters dissertation titled: "A Dynamic Synthesis of Basic Macroeconomic Theory: Implications for Stabilization Policy Analysis" (available from MIT) presents the IS-LM model (extended through aggregate supply and demand) via system dynamics. Also, I have created a series...
