Abstract
AbstractThis paper provides an overview of the past 10 years, describing activities of enlarging the paradigm of System Dynamics (SD). Part I explains why this has been done. Part II is concerned with the optimization of SD models. The global optimization of SD models is realized by integration into a higher level feedback loop structure. The use of optimal variables in SD models is handled by Linear Programming (LP) models. In Part III the integration of SD and Input–Output models is applied to describe complex macroeconomic systems. The last part describes SD models as decision support systems based on model‐ and method‐based systems. The whole article documents the dynamic behavior of System Dynamics and its methodical environment. This history is not intended to be encyclopedic, but rather mainly to reflect the author's experience.
