	Systems engineering
		Examples include the use of soft systems methodology, Jay Wright Forrester 's System dynamics method and the Unified Modelling Language (UML), each of which are currently being explored, evaluated and developed to support the engineering decision making process.
		There is no method which guarantees that decisions made today will still be valid when a system goes into service years or decades after it is first conceived but there are techniques to support the process of systems engineering.
		Systems engineering often involves the modelling or simulation of some aspects of the proposed system in order to validate assumptions or explore theories.

	Edwards - The World in a Machine
		Jay Forrester's "world dynamics" models were to gain an enormous influence as the basis for The Limits to Growth, the popular best-seller that predicted the catastrophic collapse of socio-economic systems by the middle of the 21st century, based on current trends.
		Forrester and his engineers were thus dealing with issues quite similar to the problem faced by meteorologists of this period, albeit in a much different domain.
		Forrester was among the first to envision the application of computers to an integrated information and control system on a continental scale.

		Jay W. Forrester is Professor of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he directs research and teaching in the field of "System Dynamics." Before becoming Professor of Management, Dr. Forrester was one of the nation's leading engineers in the design and applications of computers and has made outstanding contributions to digital computer technology.
		Malthus has postulated food supply as the ultimate limiting factor, but Professor Forrester suggests that pollution, crowding, and depletion of resources can play equally critical roles.
		A stable enduring world equilibrium may require a combination of social, economic, and technical changes that include such counterintuitive policies as reducing the present emphasis on food production and industrialization.

	GameSpot
		Wright would go on to release a Commodore version in 1987, but the main gaming platforms were out of his reach, at least until he met self-dubbed "idea guy" Jeff Braun at a pizza party in 1987.
		After working on the project solo for a year, Wright was confident he had created a unique entertainment experience, although its open-ended design philosophy ran counter to typical computer games.
		As Wright remembers, publishers such as Broderbund "just kept asking me how I was going to make it into a game." However Wright resisted the pressure to change his creation and as a result, SimCity didn't have a publisher for the PC or Mac.

	Wired 10.11: The Sims Online
		Wright is academic, prone to abstraction — a bookish anthropologist among the frag-happy code grunts who dominate the game industry.
		Wright started seeking a way to zoom in on SimCity, and he found it in the ideas of Christopher Alexander.
		Though his first game, Raid on Bungling Bay (1984), was a conventional helicopter shooter, Wright found he was more interested in designing the towns that served as chopper bait.

		Wright will be a panelist at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Media Arts Council symposium, along with Nolan Bushnell, the inventor of Pong and founder of Atari, according to this Wired news story.
		Wright will also be taking part in the first annual D.I.C.E. Summit, which will be held in conjunction with the Awards.
		Wright described the images inspired by his video game as �cool in a creepy way�; the curator of the Whitney show, Lawrence Rinder, said they provoked reflection on the roles of violence, entertainment and memory in society.

	Quo Vadis UNO?: a review of some of the issues raised by the Club of Rome study of World Dynamics
		It was at this meeting that Jay W. Forrester, Professor of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, suggested that the Club should make use of the system dynamics computer modelling technology developed by his team.
		(Preliminary Edition, ten chapters.) Wright-Allen Press, Room 516, 238 Main Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, 1968; Forrester, Jay W. Urban Dynamics.
		Forrester's method is to postulate a set of quantities, usually 15 to 30, which describes the state of the system which he is examining at any time.

	Applications of System Dynamics Modeling in Elementary and Secondary School Curricula
		Forrester observed that people usually identify one or two influences and assumed that those account for the observed outcomes or a problem.
		With System Dynamics modeling, Forrester demonstrated how simple problem solutions often had unintended and undesirable effects, and how problems could be better solved with more sophisticated levels of analysis.
		To help improve decision making and policy formation, Forrester created the System Dynamics methodology, an approach for analyzing complex systems to include all the relevant cause-effect relationships, and more important, time delays and feedback loops in those systems which account for most of their unexpected behavior.
