Thompson, David with Brian Bush, "Software Practices Applied to System Dynamics: Support for Large Scale Group Development", 2005 July 17-2005 July 21
The development of large software systems using systems dynamics languages has been hampered by the lack of application of, and support for, modern software techniques. Support is needed to handle the challenges of modular system dynamics model development. These development challenges include the handling of namespaces, linking separate modes, and maintaining clean logical separations among components. Most modern software patterns and languages support such a capability. This paper presents an approach to group, large scale, system dynamics model development that has proven valuable in our project. Our approach included the creation of a software tool, called Conductor, to facilitate our group development. The tool, Conductor, is generally applicable to other projects using Vensim®.
