- DRONE: A Tool for
Automatically Running Simulation Recursions in Batch.
Drone supports any simulator. It enables you to vary arbitrary
parameters and re-run many simulations as the parameter(s) vary,
while collecting results in various ways. Similar to CSIM's Iterator tool.
- DAKOTA: An
advanced tool for running simulation recursions, parameter estimation and
optimization. Like DRONE above. Very sophisticated and well documented.
Also similar to CSIM's Iterator tool, but much heavier duty.

- Laws of Systemantics - John Gail's proposed "laws" of systems' failures,
intended as light satire, but probably contains much wisdom, or at least things to consider when designing systems. Example:
A complex system that works, is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that works.
- Acknowledgments, Contributors
A toolmaker succeeds as, and only as, the *users* of his tool
succeed with his aid. However shining the blade, however jeweled
the hilt, however perfect the heft, a sword is tested only by
cutting. That swordsmith is successful whose clients die of
old age.
