Program

Conference Theme: the Sustainable Development of Asia Pacific

Many countries, particularly some developing countries in Asia-Pacific, have faced the severe threats of financial crises, energy and natural resource shortages, environmental pollution and the pressure of overpopulation for years. At the same time, in a new era of unprecedentedly social, economic and technological changes the managers have concerned about how they can lead their firms and companies to overcome the obstacles in front of them. Therefore, the main theme of this conference will be focused on the sustainable development of both macro and micro economies.

Submissions are welcomed for work on all topics germane to system dynamics and the disciplines of management including:

* Energy and natural resource shortages, environmental and ecological challenges—recycling economy
* Business dynamics for sustainable development
* Regional, and national economic dynamics
* Crisis management and financial system dynamics
* System dynamics for R&D and Innovation
* R&D project management
* Simulation for decision making
* Corporate strategy, planning and policy design
* Dynamics of information systems
* Public management and policy
* Health care policy and biological and medical modeling
* Theory development in the natural and social sciences
* Dynamic decision making in supply chain, M&A, etc.
* Complex nonlinear dynamics
* Advances in the modeling process and simulation tools and techniques for model analysis
* Teaching system dynamics and systems thinking in the K-12 grades and universities
* Others

The program will comprise plenary, parallel, poster and workshop sessions demonstrating the state-of-the-art in the theory and application of system dynamics and the disciplines of management.

In addition, panel discussions, special interest group meetings, roundtable sessions, student colloquia, events of historic interest, vendor displays, exhibits, demonstrations and other related gatherings will be scheduled. We look forward to participants fully enjoying the Conference!
