A random walk demonstration using an ABM. As individuals drink more they become more intoxicated and their walk becomes more random. And when they drink to much it finally kills them.

Elaborate the Model 2 is a segment of Simulaiton with Insight Maker in the Systemic Perspective Series.

A Conveyor is just a special type of a stock.

Simple savings account.

Faced with a performance gap the two most obvious responses are to work harder or work smarter. There are trade offs associated with each, some obvious, some not so obvious.

Basic practice model accumulating savings from payments and cash from subsequent withdrawals.
I would like to see a "spiky" graph showing the "sudden" effect of the withdrawals which are supposed to happen only once a year (every 12 months).

Discussion groups, or bulletin boards if you prefer, come in numerous forms though for all their forms they are all pretty much the same. And, if you've found your way here then you probably belong to one or more of them.

A simple agent based foraging model. Consumer agents will move between fertile patches consuming them.

Just some thoughts for Runy.

We never seem to have enough time. Is Time Management an answer or just a myth?

Being fascinated with systemigrams I wondered if I could create them in Insight Maker. This is essential Fig 1. from a Blair, Bordman & Sauser paper.

What seems to make sense at this point is to first identify the functional aspects of the tool set even though we're aware they cannot all come from one vendor.

Tool Requirements

Through our endeavors we have identified and experimented with a number of environments that seem to satisfy the Web Based, Multi-User and Free requirements and seem well up to the task.

Time Settings are used to define the simulation start time, duration, and the step size used from one calculation to another.
