More Description

Collaborative applications of a variety of modeling methodologies have multiplied in recent decades. Information about these modeling efforts, however, is often segregated by both discipline and modeling approach, preventing modelers from learning from one another. This volume addresses the need for cross-disciplinary and cross-methodological communication about collaborative modeling, providing strategies to enhance a shared understanding of systems problems among scientists and stakeholders. The chapters in this volume first explore modeling methodologies for enhanced collaboration, then offer case studies of collaborative modeling across different complex systems problems. The volume will be useful for experienced and beginner modelers as well as scientists and stakeholders who work with modelers.
