Nominations are invited for the 2007 System Dynamics Society Applications 
Award. The Applications Award is presented as often as once every two years 
for the best "real world" application of system dynamics conducted within 10 
years of the submission deadline.  The best application will be based 
primarily on demonstrated measurable benefit to an organization through the 
use of system dynamics, and secondarily for new learnings that improve the 
art of applying system dynamics, or for relating work to existing SD 
literature and/or other disciplines.

Criteria for eligible papers include:  (1) papers must be full-length and 
written for an SD-user audience, in the English language in the original or 
after translation; (2) if previously published, the papers must have been 
published within 7 years of the submission deadline; (3) at least one named 
author must have been employed at the time of the work by the company or 
organization whose performance was improved by the SD modeling effort; (4) 
the paper must not have won or been an announced finalist for a previous award 
from the System Dynamics Society; and (5) papers may be self-nominated.

Winners are announced, and a certificate presented, at the annual conference of 
the System Dynamics Society.  The winner may also be invited to deliver a talk
 on the work, which may subsequently be published in the System Dynamics Review.

Nominations, papers, and supporting information should be sent by 15 April 2007
