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 3 of the
System Zoo contains simulation models of economic and social
systems and global development, among them: production, stocks and
orders, marketing and consumption, competition, life planning,
employment, ecotax, escalation, dependence, aggression, population
and community development, debt crisis, globalization, the world
models of the Club of Rome (by Forrester and the Meadows group) and
examples of nonnumerical knowledge processing applied to impact
assessment and decision processes. 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 1 of the System Zoo
contains simulation models of elementary systems, and of systems
from the fields of physics and engineering. Volume 2 of the System
Zoo presents simulation models related to climate, vegetation,
ecosystems and resources. 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.
