PERIODIC Calendar of Conferences, Courses & Contacts (SD6660)

Tue Dec 4 05:19:27 CST 2007

Posted by  "Tony Gill" <Tony.Gill at Phrontis.com>

This calendar is a listing of system dynamics (SD) related Conferences,
Chapter Meetings and stand alone short courses open to the general public
without any restrictions. It is not intended as a listing of Universities or
Colleges offering SD as part of degree or diploma programs. It should be of
interest to anyone keen to know more or keep informed about SD - both
new-comers and experts.

If you are offering courses that teach system dynamics & simulation, or
courses that are built around a system dynamics simulation model or
microworld, please email Tony Gill the information <Tony.Gill at phrontis.com>
so he can include it in the monthly posting. Please use the same format as
below for your posting so that I can quickly copy and paste. You should also
update your course listings periodically. Please do not ask or expect me to
check your web sites to get current details - I do not have the luxury of
time for this. I aim to update and publish the list by or about the first
Friday/Saturday of each Month. If you have details to post I need to have
them by the previous Friday just in case I post early due to other
commitments.
