System Dynamics Mailing List
The System Dynamics Mailing List promotes discussion around issues in building
and using System Dynamics models, uses of systems thinking, and other system
dynamics-related issues.
What is "System Dynamics"?
In a nutshell, the rigorous study of problems in system behavior using
the principles of feedback, dynamics and simulation. In more words system
dynamics is characterized by:
-
Searching for useful solutions to real problems, especially in social systems
(businesses, schools, governments,...) and the environment.
-
Using computer simulation models to understand and improve such systems.
-
Basing the simulation models on mental models, qualitative knowledge and
numerical information.
-
Using methods and insights from feedback control engineering and other
scientific disciplines to assess and improve the quality of models.
-
Seeking improved ways to translate scientific results into actual implementation.
