该项目汇集了两条研究路线复杂动态系统的研究和参与式模拟的使用，作为系统建模的一种强有力的方式，这两者都可以通过新兴的网络技术来实现和推进。对动态系统的研究是所有人的一种新的识字形式。模拟活动可以支持新形式的课堂互动，并可以促进与动态系统建模的参与，作为所有学生教育的核心特征。为了实现这些目标，我们引入了一个新的架构，HubNet。HubNet是一个开放的客户端-服务器架构，它使“节点”（目前是TI图形计算器）上的许多用户能够控制单个对象或代理的行为，并在称为Hub的中央计算机上查看聚合结果。这个节点网络集成了一套强大的建模、分析和显示工具，这些工具共同提供了以直观模式“飞行”系统的能力，反映了它们模拟的紧急结果，并将它们的策略编码为系统可以独立运行的规则。HubNet系统正在一些初中和高中教室使用。一个说明性的例子，课堂使用。
This project brings together two lines of researchothe study of complex dynamic systems and the use of participatory simulations as a powerful way into systems modelingoboth of which can be enabled and advanced through emerging network technologies. The study of dynamic systems stands as a new form of literacy for all.. Participatory Simulations Activities can support new forms of classroom interaction and can serve to catalyze the engagement with dynamic systems modeling as a core feature of the education of all students. To accomplish these goals, we introduce a new architecture, HubNet. HubNet is an open client-server architecture, which enables many users at the "Nodes" (currently TI graphing calculators) to control the behavior of individual objects or agents and to view the aggregated results on a central computer known as the Hub. This network of nodes is integrated with a powerful suite of modeling, analysis and display tools that together give both the capacity to "fly" the system in intuitive mode, to reflect on the emergent result of their simulation and, also, to encode their strategies as rules which the system can then run independently. The HubNet system is being used in several middle and secondary classrooms. An illustrative example of classroom use is presented.
