This posting suggests more about use of Google, than about the naming of
system dynamics.  From the outset I've always known the field as 'system
dynamics modelling' (using the English, Australian, Indian, Pakistani etc
etc spelling of 'modelling', rather than the contracted 'modeling' used by
a minority of the english speaking world.  Spelling aside, a Google search
on "system dynamics modelling" or "system dynamics modeling" will give 98%
(modelling) to 92% (modeling) success rate.  If 92% success rate is not good
enough there is an obvious way to ramp it up.
