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 |
|---|---|
Parameters | Constant factors in relationships in a model. |
Period of oscillation | The time duration in which the oscillatory behavior repeats itself. The inverse of the frequency of oscillation. |
Phase plot | A plot of the behavior of one endogenous variable in relation to another endogenous variable. |
Pipeline delay | A fixed or discrete‐time delay. See conveyor. |
Polarity | See causal link polarity or feedback loop polarity. |
Policy | A decision rule or structure that uses information streams to generate decisions. |
Policy analysis | Analysis employed to evaluate policies to alleviate undesirable behaviors of a system. It allows the model builder to compare how a system would react to different policies through simulation. |
Policy resistance | Circumstances in which policies are delayed, diluted or defeated by the unforeseen reactions of various factors and (usually negative) feedbacks in the system. |
Positive feedback | A structure that produces exponential growth or collapse. Change in one direction results in more and faster change in the same direction. |
Positive feedback loop | See reinforcing feedback loop. |
Pulse function | See impulse. |
Ramp function | A common input variable that changes linearly over time. |
