System dynamics is a dynamic analysis method that examines the complex relationships between events and nonlinear connections these used in social sciences as well fields such mathematics, physics, engineering, urbanization. provides opportunity to accurately evaluate model current state of problem subject offers test under different scenarios. This facilitates decision-making processes manager...

In this paper, we propose a new approach to network bandwidth estimation based on System Dynamics modelling. The paper discusses existing approaches to bandwidth estimation and network capacity planning. Limitations of these approaches are presented and the case for using System Dynamics is made. Applicability of the proposed approach is demonstrated through a real world network planning projec...

This paper describes the development and testing of a system dynamics model of collaboration, trust building, and knowledge sharing in a complex, intergovernmental information system project. The model building and testing activity was an exploration of the feasibility of applying these modeling methods to a complex interorganizational process about which only qualitative data were available. T...

The Brooks’ Law says that adding manpower to a late software project makes it later. Brooks developed the law through observation of many projects and derived the generalization. His explanation was quite reasonable and convincing. However, it becomes a debilitating statement to any software project manager who is faced with a late project. This paper presents an in-depth study of Brooks’ Law u...

Managing security for information assets presents a challenging task. The need for effective information security management assumes greater importance with growing reliance on distributed systems and Internet-accessible systems. Many factors play a role in determining the vulnerability of information assets to security threats. Using a system dynamics approach, this study evaluates information...

Today, robots and unmanned aerial vehicles are being used extensively in modern societies. Due to a wide range of applications, it has attracted much attention among scientists over the past decades. This paper deals with the problem of the stability of a four-rotor flying robot called quadrotor, which is an under-actuated system, in the presence of operator or sensor failures. The dynamica...
