This article describes ongoing research into the application of distributed computing technologies to system dynamics. To date, a distributed modelling environment has been constructed. This is designed to support geographically dispersed decision makers—for example, participants in a virtual organisation who may wish to examine scenarios for their interconnected value chain. The implementation is based on distributed object technology and is tested using a negative feedback model of a business supply chain. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
