PERIOD: JUNE - JULY The course illustrates the methodologies and principles to model and simulate systems to solve problems in organizations, engineering and management. It provides participants with knowledge to understand the complexity of engineering and management systems, archetypical behaviours of complex systems, measurement metrics, and policy making tools for system control. Case studies and applications are in the fields of technology diffusion, operations management, supply chain management, logistics and project management. In particolar, the System Dynamics and Agent-Based modelling methodologies are given togeter with the software packages needed to simulate complex systems (e.g.: Vensim, NetLogo, AnyLogic, etc.). A project work is developed to model and simulate a system with reference to the participant’s specific vertical domain of research.

Principles of complexity science. Structures, states and behaviours of complex systems.Usage of simulation models. Performance measurement systems and metrics. Model design of complex systems. System Dynamics modelling and simulation using Vensim software package. Agent-based modelling and associated software packages. The course is given in English.
