title = "The system dynamics modelling method",
abstract = "The system dynamics (SD) approach was used as both the methodology and tool for modelling and simulation in this book. This chapter first gives an historical overview of SD by describing how the SD approach came into being. Following on, the chapter discusses how the SD approach is grounded both in theory and philosophical foundations in terms of its epistemological and ontological underpinnings. The chapter further puts the SD in context as a multidisciplinary modelling approach and then describes the procedures for using it. Additionally, the chapter discusses the array of software under which the SD modelling and simulation can be implemented. The chapter is concluded by discussing the ways in which the SD algorithms can be developed.",
