"This book is an authoritative reference source on the computer models and technologies necessary to enhance engineering structures and planning for real-world applications"--Provided by publisher
This book approaches economic problems from a systems thinking and feedback perspective. By introducing system dynamics methods (including qualitative and quantitative techniques) and computer simulation models, the respective contributions apply feedback analysis and dynamic si…
"Maintaining an optimal blend of theory and practice, this readily accessible reference/text details the utility of system dynamics for analysis and design of mechanical, electrical, fluid, thermal, and "mixed" engineering systems - addressing topics from system elements and sim…
This book presents a new System Dynamics model (the Economic Risk, Resources and Environment ERRE model), a novel stock and flow consistent global impact assessment model designed by the authors to address the financial risks emerging from the interaction between economic growth…
Rowell and Wormley use a linear graph approach. This contrasts with the bond graph approach or no graph approach. This is the first modern linear graph System Dynamics that has been published in 30 years. Chapters are organized so that introductory material is presented first, w…
This book makes the case for a systems approach to small-scale community development projects. It looks more specifically at the application of one branch of systems science, called system dynamics, to develop conceptual models of small-scale communities and address specific iss…

"In recent years, there has been a growing debate, particularly in the UK and Europe, over the merits of using discrete-event simulation (DES) and system dynamics (SD); there are now instances where both methodologies were employed on the same problem. This book details each met…
