   *System Dynamics Applications Award ***

Nominations are invited for the 2007 System Dynamics 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 ideas 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 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.

nominated, a brief (paragraph or two) description of the work and benefit to 
the company, and the role SD played in company decisions.  Nominations, papers, 
and supporting information should be sent *by **15 April 2007* to:
