About the book: Mathematical modeling and computer simulation make
it possible to understand and control the dynamic processes taking
place in complex systems. Simulation provides insights into the
often surprising diversity of possible behaviors, and allows
identifying possibilities for intervention and options for
alternative development. About one hundred simulation models from
all areas of life are fully documented in the three volumes of the
'System Zoo'. They can be quickly implemented and easily operated
using freely available system dynamics software. Volume 1 of the
System Zoo contains simulation models of elementary processes, and
of complex systems from physics and engineering, among them:
exponential and logistic growth, oscillations, delays, and storage;
phenomena of infection, transition, and overload; complex systems
with limit cycles, multiple equilibrium points and chaotic
attractors; and applications from control engineering, flight
dynamics, fluid flow and heat conduction. The System Zoo collection
of simulation models is particularly well-suited for teaching,
training, and research projects at all levels from high school to
university, and for individual study. Volume 2 of the System Zoo
contains simulation models related to climate, vegetation,
ecosystems and resources. Volume 3 deals with systems and processes
found in economy and society, and with long-term global
development. About the author: Hartmut Bossel is Professor Emeritus
of environmental systems analysis. He taught for many years at the
University of California in Santa Barbara and the University of
Kassel, Germany, where he was director of the Center for
Environmental Systems Research until his retirement. He holds an
engineering degree from the Technical University of Darmstadt, and
a Ph.D. degree from the University of California at Berkeley. With
a background in engineering, systems science, and mathematical
modeling, he has led many research projects and future studies in
different countries, developing computer simulation models and
decision support systems in the areas of energy supply policy,
global dynamics, orientation of behavior, agricultural policy, and
forest dynamics and management. He has written numerous books on
modeling and simulation of dynamic systems, social change and
future paths, and has published widely in the scientific literature
in several fields.
