The Button primitive enables you to write JavaScript code that controls various aspects of the model via the Insight Maker API.

This is my first attempt at creating a simple Agent Based Simulation Model. Nothing fancy, just something that works.

The goal seeking structure endeavors to bring a balance between a current state and a desired state. This is one of the two foundation archetypes. The other being the growth structure. See also Archetypes.

To this point components which are likely so support aspects of a virtual collaboration have been identified. The question now becomes how does one foster interactions between participants such that there is a definite possibility of producing meaningful results.

A quick example for creating a simulation in Insight Maker.

This is the model of the collaborative model development process which is being developed in a collaborative method to help understand what guidelines might be developed to aid in the model development.

An implementation of the classic Game of Life using agent based modeling.

Rules:

• A live cell with less than two alive neighbors dies.
• A live cell with more than three alive neighbors dies.
• A dead cell with three neighbors becomes alive.

A spatially aware, agent based model of disease spread. There are three classes of people: susceptible (healthy), infected (sick and infectious), and recovered (healthy and temporarily immune).

The intent here is to provide guidance for creating well structured and documented relationship maps that you can share with your audience and they are likely to find understandable and informative.

There are two basic modes of organizational operation, one founded on the concept of management and one founded on the concept of leadership. These two modes represent very different systemic structures.

This is the collected data for the pattern of behavior of the Rookies & Pros example of the Systemic Perspective Development Guide. Though the development guide  no longer exists this is a good example of captured data to create a reference mode to compare a simulation to.

The limits to results structure endeavors to bring a balance between a current state and a desired state though more often than not the action is limited by some constraint.  See also Archetypes.

The Sensitivity Analysis option allows you to develop a sense of the extent to which some part of the model is affected by changes in some other part of the model. I think you'll find the approach to implementing Sensitivity Analysis rather straightforward and powerful at the same time.

Supply and Demand tend to oscillate back and forth though Price.

A Tragedy of the Commons situation exists whenever two or more activities, each, which in order to produce results, rely on a shared limited resource. Results for these activities continue to develop as long as their use of the limited resource doesn't exceed the resource limit. Once this limit is reached the results produced by each activity are limited to the level at which the resource is replenished. See also Archetypes.

Imagine you've been given the responsibility for managing a project that's behind schedule and experiencing substantial pressure to get the project back on track. What are your options.

Integrating all the relevant elements in pursuit of a Systemic Strategy is an undertaking that will require diligent attention. You pursue an intent in a manner akin to meandering around in the dark without even a candle to guide your way. Along the way though you encounter aspects related to the situation that you are endeavoring to figure out how to deal with. And when you persist to actually evolving a Systemic Perspective, only then will there be light at the end of the tunnel, and you will have a sense of which direction the tracks should be laid to effect the alternative situation you are seeking.

Strategy is simply an idea as to how to move the current situation to the desired situation though it is seldom simple by any means. If the strategy is to be successful how numerous elements will be able support each other through the transition must be defined.

An introduction to what seems to be our typical approach to dealing with problems that arise unexpectedly when we're focused on dealing with other immediate issues.
