The Build Group of Solid Modelers
IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 1982Build 2, Design, and Romulus are solid modelers with evolutionary links. Consideration of their characteristics and histories yields some general insights into solid modeling.

Group model-building: tackling messy problems
System Dynamics Review, 1999Group model-building here refers to a system dynamics model-building process in which a client group is deeply involved in the process of model construction. The problem that is modelled can be reasonably well defined, but it can also take the form of an ill-defined or messy problem, i.e., a situation in which opinions in a management team differ ...

Outcomes of Group Model Building
2018Group model building describes a variety of methods for involving clients or stakeholders in the creation of a system dynamics model. It has been the subject of extensive empirical study since 1988 using a variety of research methods. These studies present strong evidence that group model building supports increases in consensus, insight, communication

Boundary Objects for Participatory Group Model Building of Agent-Based Models
2015 48th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2015Boundary objects in participatory group processes help participants share their understanding of systems across disciplinary and social boundaries. We report development of a series of boundary objects in a group model building project in which stakeholders and modelers constructed agent-based models (ABMs) of health care seeking and delivery.

System Dynamics Review, 2015
AbstractWe introduce a systematic method to compare externalized mental models with a group model resulting from a group model building (GMB) process. To this end, we categorize the various concepts included in the models, and propose Venn diagrams and matrices to demonstrate the composition of the group model and identify the overlapping categories ...

Journal of Public Health Management and Practice, 2015
Between 2008 and 2012, the multidisciplinary Healthy Community Partnership of Columbia, Missouri, participated in a national program to address child obesity. This article describes a systems-level evaluation of their work to implement healthy eating and active living policy, system, and environmental changes to support healthier communities for ...

Eliciting Group Knowledge for Model-Building
1989System dynamics models are typically created using multiple streams of information including quantitative data, written records, and information contained in the mental models of both individuals and groups. While qualitative sources of information are widely recognized as important in all stages of the model building process, little systematic ...

The value of group model building: a stakeholder perspective
International Journal of Productivity and Quality Management, 2017Stakeholder Group Model-Building (GMB) is often used as an approach to form a model in system dynamics (SD) and increasingly also to support strategic decisions in organizations. In this study, grounded theory approach is used to study how 8 participants in GMB experienced the process and to increase understanding of the value of the method.

Group theory for unified model building
Physics Reports, 1981Abstract The results gathered here on simple Lie algebras have been selected with attention to the needs of unified model builders who study Yang-Mills theories based on simple, local-symmetry groups that contain as a subgroup the SUw2 × Uw1 × SUc3 symmetry of the standard theory of electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions.
