> excellent way of describing and analysing many of the complex issues that
> arise in transport. His talk will be about modelling the dynamic
> relationships between transport, land-use, populations, businesses and
> infrastructure in urban areas. It builds on the original work done by
> Forrester (in "Urban Dynamics") but extends it to include representation
> of transport networks, and to recognise spatial aspects of the town or
> city.

> Technology, presents "Riding the Seven Waves: Mastering Supply Network
> Dynamics in Innovation-driven Industries". This is a tour dhorizon of
> key system dynamics issues in high tech supply chains.
> Strategy Dynamics: building clear cut business strategies. This session
> will be run by Dr. Kim Warren, Adjunct Associate Professor at London
