ISEE Stella System Dynamic Training Modules 

Introduction to the Modeling Process

• Session 1: The Modeling Process                      NOV 1 
• Session 2: Tracking System Attributes              NOV 13
• Session 3: Modeling Market Dynamics            NOV 15
• Session 4: Modeling Supply and Demand        NOV 20 

         All sessions will be in Hammer Sciences LL-203, from 11:30AM - 12:30PM

This four-session series introduces STELLA and iThink users to the model building process. Using this proven framework, you'll learn how to build simple (yet powerful!) models that address problems relevant to business, healthcare, education and the environment.

Join for as many sessions as you'd like!  The room is equipped with laptops, but feel free to bring your own.  Hope to see you there!

System Dynamics Coffeehouse

Friday, November 2, 2012
11:45AM - 12:30PM
HSC LL-208B

The monthly online coffeehouse allows students from many disciplines to ask questions about System Dynamics principles, methods and professional culture/norms.

This Month's Focus:
CASE STUDY - Module-based System Dynamics model of the US health care system, covering population dynamics, general practitioner visits, emergency room visits, pharmaceutical innovation, etc. This model asks the question: Are the medical needs of the US population finite or infinite? The model was developed by Dr. Jim Thompson and shown with his consent and enthusiasm:

TECHNICAL - The technical (non-subject based) learning is to see a module-based model of a large system. Each module stands alone and is part of the whole. Module-based models can reveal opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration through the use of System Dynamics.
