Description
This book presents a fresh, new approach to systems analysis and modeling with a systems science flavor that stimulates systems thinking.
After introducing systems modeling principles, the ensuing wide selection of examples aptly illustrate that anything which changes over
time can be modeled as a system. Each example begins with a knowledge base that displays relevant information obtained from systems analysis.
The diversity of examples clearly establishes a new protocol for synthesizing systems models.
Audience:
Engineers and physical and social scientists working with large-scale systems, including diverse systems such as natural resource and
environmental systems, engineering projects, public planning and development, econometric and population studies, etc.
