The system dynamics approach is a holistic way of solving problems in real-time scenarios. This is a powerful methodology and computer simulation modeling technique for framing, analyzing, and discussing complex issues and problems. System dynamics modeling and simulation is often the background of a systemic thinking approach and has become a management and organizational development paradigm. This paper proposes a system dynamics approach for study the importance of infrastructure facilities on quality of primary education system in developing nations. The model is proposed to be built using the Cross Impact Analysis (CIA) method of relating entities and attributes relevant to the primary education system in any given community. We offer a survey to build the cross-impact correlation matrix and, hence, to better understand the primary education system and importance of infrastructural facilities on quality of primary education. The resulting model enables us to predict the effects of infrastructural facilities on the access of primary education by the community. This may support policy makers to take more effective actions in campaigns.

Investigating academic performance of migrant students: A system dynamics perspective with an application to Turkey Pedamallu, Chandra Sekhar; Ozdamar, Linet; Akar, Hanife; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm; Ozsoy, Aysegul (2012-10-01) The system dynamics approach is a holistic way of solving problems in real-time scenarios. This is a powerful methodology of modern Operational Research for framing, analyzing, and discussing complex issues and problems. System dynamics modeling is often the background of a systemic thinking approach and has become a management and organizational development paradigm. This paper proposes a system dynamics model for studying the factors that impact the academic performance of 1st to 8th grade primary school ...
System-dynamics approach to identify the factors influencing the quality of primary education in developing countries Akar, Hanife; Sekhar, P.c.; Ozdamar, L.; Mawengkang, H.a. (2018-04-04) The system dynamics approach is a holistic way of solving problems in realtime scenarios. This is a powerful methodology and computer simulation modeling technique for framing, analyzing, and discussing complex issues and problems. System dynamics modeling and simulation is often the background of a systemic thinking approach and has become a management and organizational development paradigm. In this paper, we present our experiences and thoughts on developing system thinking models to understand the impor...
A unifying grid approach for solving potential flows applicable to structured and unstructured grid configurations Cete, A. Ruhsen; Yuekselen, M. Adil; Kaynak, Uenver (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01) In this study, an efficient numerical method is proposed for unifying the structured and unstructured grid approaches for solving the potential flows. The new method, named as the "alternating cell directions implicit - ACDI", solves for the structured and unstructured grid configurations equally well. The new method in effect applies a line implicit method similar to the Line Gauss Seidel scheme for complex unstructured grids including mixed type quadrilateral and triangle cells. To this end, designated al...
An experimental study for simulation based assessment of information system design performance Ayyildiz, Bulent; Akman, Ibrahim; Arifoğlu, Ali (2007-07-04) This paper presents an experimental study for evaluating the decision support value of queueing network (QN) based simulation models for information system design performance. For illustration, queueing network simulation models have been extracted corressponding to three annotated design alternatives of a selected case study. The design alternatives are produced using logical requirements of the selected system. The performance of each alternative is then predicted using quantifiable parameters considering...
An Interactive partitioning approach for multiobjective decision making under a general monotone utility function Karasakal, Esra (2013-09-01) We develop an interactive partitioning approach for solving the multiobjective decision making problem of a decision maker (DM) who has an implicit general monotone utility function. The approach reduces feasible solution space using the DM's preferences. Hypothetical solutions called partition ideals (PIs) that dominate portions of the efficient frontier are generated and those that are inferior to a feasible solution are used to eliminate the dominated regions. We investigate the issues in representation ...
