Title
Developing A Simulation Model For Complex Societal Decision Making Processes Using System Dynamics: The Expansion Of The Panama Canal
Keywords
Decision making; Panama canal; System dynamics; Systems of systems theory
Abstract
The possible expansion of the Panama Canal could be the largest project attempted by the Republic of Panama in its 100 years of life. The objective of this research is to use the case of the Canal Expansion to learn and develop more precise and applied concepts involving the complex decision making processes in large "systems of systems". It is an attempt to explain the decision making process in complex systems, and to develop a model that will help with the political, social and economic decisions making concerning this very large project. Challenges involved in this research initiative include developing the parametric expressions that explain the dynamical intricacies and validation of the expansion project.
