Glosario de Dinámica de Sistemas
Este es el Glosario de Dinámica del Sistema compilado por David N. Ford y aceptado por Yaman Barlas. Fue publicado el 7 de noviembre de 2019 aquí: https://doi.org/10.1002/sdr.1641.
Introducción
Como un diccionario de enfoque limitado, este glosario define términos de uso común que son centrales para la Dinámica de Sistemas tradicional y algunos términos más generales que tienen significados especiales o importancia particular dentro de la dinámica del sistema. No se incluyen los términos generales que no tienen significados especiales en la Dinámica de Sistemas, los términos específicos de la aplicación y los términos específicos del software. Se remite al lector a la literatura relevante para esas definiciones, así como a descripciones detalladas, explicaciones y ejemplos de los términos incluidos aquí.

Concept | Description |
|---|---|
State variable | See stock. |
Static | Not changing over time; constant. The opposite of dynamic. |
Steady‐state behavior | A behavior pattern that is repetitive or constant over time and in which the behavior in one time period is of the same nature as any other period. |
Step function (step input) | An input (usually for testing purposes) that suddenly changes by a fixed amount and then remains at the new value. |
Stock (level) | An accumulation of quantities in specific locations or conditions in a system. A component of a system that accumulates or drains over time. Stocks are the memory of a system and can only be changed by flows. |
Stock‐and‐flow diagram | A visual depiction of the stock, flow and auxiliary (converter) variables in a system and how they are connected. |
Structure | See system structure. |
Structure diagram | A diagram that displays the system feedback and accumulation structure. |
System | A collection of parts that interact in a meaningful, inseparable way to function as a whole. |
System archetype | An integrated feedback structure, the resulting behavior mode or modes, and a story of how the structure can create the behavior modes, so as to describe a common problem and potential solutions. A type of generic structure. |
System boundary | See boundary. |
System structure | The way in which system elements are organized or interrelated. The totality of feedback loops, stocks, flows and time delays in the system. The building blocks and connections of a system. |
