Dynamic Systems Program (DYN)

The Dynamic Systems (DYN) Program develops methods for the analysis of the dynamic systems arising in IIASA’s studies, with systems methods being the general area of research. DYN will follow the “demand-driven” approach implying strong collaboration with applied researchers.

Three broad areas of research will be covered:
(1) Methodology Development;
(2) Analysis of Technology and Energy Development and
(3) Analysis of Environmental Dynamics.

The first area will focus on theoretical generalizations of methods arising from applied research and will include identifying subjects for new collaboration with IIASA’s applied groups. In the second area, DYN will analyze the processes of economic growth and explore innovators’ behaviors in an uncertain market environment, while the third area aims at developing methods for the assessment of uncertainty in the dynamics of environmental systems. Eight projects and one networking activity, the Network on Environmental Applications, which will bring together experts in environmental sciences and applied mathematicians from different countries, will address specific problems in these areas.

Applicants are encouraged to contact the program representative, Brian Fath (fath@iiasa.ac.at) for any scientific related questions. For more information about the Dynamic Systems program check the web site.
