Australasian Chapter of the System Dynamics Society PDF Print E-mail

 

Chapters of the Society are intended to further the dissemination and encourage the advancement of system dynamics. Chapters can do this by undertaking activities that are specific to the interests or convenience of a subset of all practitioners and researchers in system dynamics. 


As of July 2007, the Australasian System Dynamics Chapter has 56 members from across the region. This is up from approximately 45 members in 2006.  In terms of geographical spread, we have 35 members in Australia, 9 in New Zealand, 3 in Pakistan, 2 in Singapore, 1 in Indonesia, 1 in Malaysia, and 1 in India.

In March 2007, the chapter held a one-day workshop in Sydney that attracted 13 attendees.  There was a good mix of academics and practitioners in attendance and it was terrific to hear about the interesting work being done by chapter members on a wide range of topics.


The chapter has also had several international visitors so far in 2007.  Professor Yaman Barlas, from Bogaziçi University, visited in late January and gave seminars at UNSW’s Accelerated Learning Lab and Centre for Health Informatics.  Professor Erik Larsen visited UNSW at the end of February.  Also, Professor Andy Ford visited the University of Queensland in February.
