2016 Program
Because of the different knowledge and skill levels related to modeling among the intended audiences, we plan two tracks for this two-day conference:
-
Track 1 is for those with experience in the quantitative modeling of complex systems. It will consist of a combination of modeling demonstrations and presentations.
-
Track 2 is for those who are new to systems theory and modeling and will consist of an overview of the elements of systems thinking and modeling, as well as brief introductions to and demonstrations of systems modeling techniques
