Overview
This course aims to teach learners about bringing System Dynamics back to computer science. The learning outcomes include understanding the history of System Dynamics, learning about available tooling for building and running models, and representing architectures using System Dynamics abstractions. The course covers topics such as Cybernetics, Control Theory, modeling systems, distributed systems, and conventional tools. The teaching method involves a lecture-style presentation. The intended audience for this course is software engineers interested in understanding and applying System Dynamics in their work.
