A new series of applications of the base technology and an accompanying methodology are being developed for the purpose of visually modelling complex dynamic systems and assessing inter-operability between components and sub-systems. Very large numbers of relationships and the patterns, and changes in them, that evolve between the parts of a system that would otherwise be difficult to discern can be visualised. And holistic views can be obtained in relation to local activities.

The presentation will focus on organisations as complex systems and demonstrate via a case study that looks at email interactivity between people and departments and also stakeholders in the broader environment. The methodology is applicable in principle more broadly, to any complex system where appropriate data sets can be made available. It is also thought that computer simulations of complex systems could be NetMap modelled although little work has been done in this area.
