The System Dynamics Society is an international, nonprofit organization devoted to encouraging the development and use of system dynamics around the world.  With members in over 35 countries the System Dynamics Society provides a forum in which researchers can keep up to date with applications, methodologies and tools.

The System Dynamics Society is responsible for the publication of The System Dynamics Review, a refereed journal containing articles on methodology and application.  The International Conference of the System Dynamics Society is held annually.  This meeting brings together people from around the world and is arranged to give broad exposure to the local activities of the area hosting it.  A President's letter provides an informal forum to bring members up to date on society activities and business.

In addition to The System Dynamics Review and its annual conferences, the Society maintains supplies of past conference proceedings and other important publications in the field.  An electronic bibliography of work done in the field is maintained and updated periodically.  The "Beer Game," a production distribution board game illustrating important principles relating local decision making to system behavior is available along with video tape and instructional material.  

The System Dynamics Society is open to all individuals. For more information contact:
