Table functions, also referred to as graphical provide a powerful and user-friendly way represent nonlinear relationships between variables in system dynamics (SD) models. However, many cases modelers may benefit from using analytical equations for model sensitivity testing communicating with researchers other fields disciplines. We propose six that can be used of the commonly formulated table ...

Cop The purpose of this contribution is to give an overview of the role of System Dynamics (SD) in the context of the evolution of the systemsmovement. This is necessary because SD is often erroneously taken as the systems approach as such, not as part of it. It is also requisite to show that the processes of the evolution of both SD in particular and the Systems Movement as a whole are intimat...

An empirical study comparing the model development process followed by experts in DiscreteEvent Simulation (DES) and System Dynamics (SD) modelling is undertaken. Verbal Protocol Analysis (VPA) is used to study the modelling process followed by ten expert modellers (5 SD and 5 DES). Participants are asked to build simulation models based on a case study and to think aloud while modelling. The g...

The lack of sufficient water quality data in many places hinders the efforts of surface water quality modeling, and therefore affects the process of water quality management. In this paper, the potential of an object-oriented simulation environment for surface water quality management, based on the concepts of system dynamics (OO-SD), is discussed. The characteristics, along with a brief explan...

Achieving success for ERP systems is not only concerned with deploying the technology on time and on budget but also concerned with the level of achieving targeted benefits from the system. This level of achieving targeted benefits can be managed indirectly through managing the organisational attitude toward the new system. Thus, the aim of this paper is to use the System Dynamics (SD) to revea...

This study aims to determine the role of academic management system which includes and quality teachers, curriculum, infrastructure achievements students at SD Darul Hikam Bandung. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, namely data form information prose language then linked with other get clarity on a truth. results showed that student achievement Bandung very concerned. ...

The important and hazardous of the rescue mission in oceans and seas, autonomous vessels now are one of the most appropriate applications among others. Due to safety, reliability, and accessibility of smart, Autonomous and Cooperative vessels today has attracted much attention from the industry. Regard to the complication of the mono vessel for different objects, the multi- agent system was pro...
