Dynamic Modeling by Bruce Hannon
Computer models offer a means of interpreting and analyzing the dynamics of real-world systems ranging from population growth to ozone depletion and a new section on modeling in genetics. Dynamic Modeling introduces an approach to modeling that makes it a more practical, intuitive endeavor. The book enables readers to convert their understanding of a phenomenon to a computer model, and then to run the model and let it yield the inevitable dynamic consequences built into the structure of the model. Dynamic Modeling uses STELLA software to develop simulation models. Part I provides an introduction to modeling dynamic systems. Part II offers general methods for modeling. Parts III through VIII apply these methods to model real-world phenomena from chemistry, genetics, ecology, economics, and engineering. Dynamic Modeling offers a clear, approachable introduction to the modeling process, and will be of interest in any field where real problems can be illuminated by computer simulation.From a review of first edition:
"[The authors] demonstrate convincingly that … one can learn a lot about building and experimenting with and simulating dynamic models in a number of fields... Highly recommended for all studying model building and practical applications of systems theory." - Choice
Johan Woltjer is Professor of Urban Infrastructures, University of Westminster, UK. He was affiliated with the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, until 2014. He concentrates his research work on institutional innovations for urban regions and infrastructure development, and, among other things, the role of capacity, governance and resilience. Ernest Alexander is Professor of Urban Planning emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA, and now practices in Israel. His research focuses on decision making, organizations, institutions and institutional design, and design and evaluation in the planning process. Angela Hull holds the Chair in Spatial Planning at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh, UK. She carries out research on spatial planning and governance, and institutional triggers to sustainable urban management (transport, energy, housing, etc.). Matthias Ruth is Professor of Public Policy and of Environmental Engineering, and the director of the Resilient Cities Laboratory at Northeastern University in Boston, USA. His research focuses on dynamic modeling of natural resource use, industrial and infrastructure systems analysis, and environmental economics and policy.
