Work-Education Mismatch

Congratulations to Navid Ghaffarzadegana, Xue Yi and Richard Larson for their publication in EJOR, Work-education mismatch: An endogenous theory of professionalization.

New C-ROADS and World Climate simulators

The latest version of Climate Interactive‘s award-winning C-ROADS climate change policy simulator, powered by Vensim, is available athttps://www.climateinteractive.org/tools/c-roads/ You can run the simpler World Climate version online, in a nice browser interface:

Integrated Sustainable Development Goals planning model (iSDG)

The Millennium Institute (MI) is pleased to announce the release of Version 1.2 of the Integrated Sustainable Development Goals planning model (iSDG). The iSDG is a comprehensive simulation tool developed with Vensim that generates country-specific development scenarios to show the implications of policy interventions on a country’s progress towards the SDGs. What’s New in Version […]

Energy Policy Simulator

Energy Innovation has a cool new simulator that lets users explore what it takes to achieve energy and emissions targets, in detail. The simulator is online with a custom HTML5 interface that runs a Vensim model on servers using the Multicontext shared library. The interface was developed by Todd Fincannon. It has extensive documentation, and […]

ISDC 2016 Best Poster 2016

Congratulations to Joona Tuovinen for receiving the Best Poster award at ISDC 2016, for The Dynamics of Product Commonality: implications of the circular causality between product and firm structures. The conference proceedings include the paper and Vensim model in the Supporting Material.

2015 Dana Meadows Award

The 2015 Dana Meadows Award goes to Mohammad Jalali, Armin Ashouri Rad, Oscar Herrera-Restrepo and Hui Zhang for Information Diffusion through Social Networks: the Case of an Online Petition. People regularly use online social networks due to their convenience, efficiency, and significant broadcasting power for sharing information. However, the diffusion of information in online social networks […]

TUDelft Exploratory Modeling and Analysis Workbench

See: http://simulation.tbm.tudelft.nl/ema-workbench/contents.html “Exploratory Modeling and Analysis (EMA) is a research methodology that uses computational experiments to analyze complex and uncertain systems (Bankes, 1993).That is, exploratory modeling aims at offering computational decision support for decision making under deep uncertainty and Robust decision making. The EMA workbench is aimed at providing support for doing EMA on models […]

Positive Feedback, Bob Walker

Bob Walker discovered yet another use for Vensim  – naming his boat.  He created the graphic with the name and feedback loop and then had the sign company transfer that to the back of his new boat.  The result floats above the rest.

Tracking Team Skills, Peter Addor

In order to track the ability of a team to do its work it is necessary to know both how much skill the team has built up as a team and what the experience levels of the individual team members are.  By creating a matrix of team membership that includes both time with the team […]

LNG Plant Design, Scott Johnson, BP

For analytic work in support of capital investment decisions the ultimate measure of success is not always clear. Plants and distribution systems that perform as expected in terms of throughput and uptime do validate the results of technical components of the simulation. Making such comparisons in detail is, however, costly and time consuming. In addition, […]

C-ROADS and C-LEARN, Climate Interactive

C-ROADS and C-LEARN are interactive, accessible computer simulations that help people visualize the long-term climate impacts of decisions being undertaken today. By making it easy to add up country emissions targets and to project their implications for the “bathtub dynamics” of the atmosphere, they bring accountability to the global negotiation process. C-ROADS has a number […]
