Behrens III, representing a team of 17 researchers. : 186 The report's authors are Donella H.
Ĭommissioned by the Club of Rome, the findings of the study were first presented at international gatherings in Moscow and Rio de Janeiro in the summer of 1971. The model was based on the work of Jay Forrester of MIT, : 21 as described in his book World Dynamics. The study used the World3 computer model to simulate the consequence of interactions between the earth and human systems. The verb "run" here refers only to the report, not to the program.The Limits to Growth ( LTG) is a 1972 report that discussed the possibility of exponential economic and population growth with finite supply of resources, studied by computer simulation. I doubt the employee would run the entire program, which like my system in the previous paragraph is almost certainly already running on a server somewhere, and I doubt the program can only create reports. That seems to be the case with the employee information system described in post 5. I could then print it, if I need hard copy save a PDF, if I want to be able to access it without logging into the system or do nothing, if I just want to see if Randy A. That would run the report, and the list of names would appear on my screen. I'd then click the icon representing the student roster to the left of the name of that course. It runs continuously on a server somewhere, whether or not I need it. The program's user interface will activate the report module to fulfill the request.įor example, if I want a list of the students in one of my courses, I can log into my university's student information system.
In that context, it means to select a report from a menu or dialogue box and request the program to create that report.
Or, in today's technology, the program can almost certainly do more than just create the report, and is probably already running.
