Open research problems: system dynamics, complex systems

Abstract

In this final chapter we use the developments in Systems Dynamics, a well-known M&S methodology, to expose challenges to the theory presented in this book posed by global systems modeling. We first lay the groundwork by relating concepts of Systems Dynamics to those of systems theory and DEVS. Our aim is to give readers of the book a window into the universe of open questions that the theory M&S of may help to address.
