System Dynamics / Systems Thinking Mega Link List
 
about this List
 
Was soll meine SD/ST Mega Link Liste?
Die SD+STMLL enthält über 250 Links zu Webseiten zur Systemdynamik bzw. zum systemischen Denken. Wenn Sie Wünsche, Anregungen oder Fragen haben: Bitte um Ihre Mail!

Die Liste wurde seit ihrer Gründung im März 1997 bis November 2000 fast 38.000 mal besucht. Mehr als 10.000 Besuche gab es davon allein 1999. Dieser freundliche Zuspruch ist für mich eine große Ermutigung, dieses Projekt weiter zu führen und weiter zu verbessern.

Als ich die SD+STMLL im März 1997 begann, war ich gerade auf dem Weg ins Krankenhaus zu einer Knochenmarkstransplantation, um eine Leukämie zu überwinden. Für lange Zeit waren die SD-MLL und die SD-Mailing Liste meine haupsächliche Verbindung zur weltweiten SD-Community.

What about this SD/ST Mega Link List?
The SD/ST MLL contains almost 300 different links about System Dynamics and Systems Thinking resources in educational and business contexts. I try to update this list on a regular basis. If you have any suggestions, comments or questions: please mail me!

The list had almost 38000 visitors from March 1997 until November 2000. More than 10000 were counted in 1999 alone! Thank you very much for this great response. Your friendly acceptance encourages me very much to continue and to improve this service.

When I started the SD+STMLL in spring 1997, I was just about to go to hospital for a bone marrow transplant to overcome a leukemia. In the long phase of recovery the SD+STMLL and the SD-mailing list were the main connections to the international SD-community. In August 2000 I had the privilege to attend for the first time at the annual conference of the SD Society in Bergen, Norway!
