An examination of knowledge acquisition techniques and knowledge representation structures used in expert system development and technology forecasting, helped to determine how to elicit information from System Dynamics analysts. In this ongoing research, insights from the literature on knowledge acquisition, combined with knowledge elicited from System Dynamics analysts, are being used to develop an approach designed to improve the knowledge acquisition processes and structures used during the problem formulation and model conceptualization activities of System Dynamics. Also, preliminary insights are presented regarding the selection of knowledge acquisition techniques and knowledge representation structures.
