    STELLA is a Systems Dynamics Tool written by Professor Barry
Richmond at Dartmouth College.  From what I know, Systems 
Dynamics was pioneered by Jay Forrester at MIT and others.
The field has application in many disciplines, from Business
to Chemistry.  For instance, Professor Richmond uses STELLA
in his "Management of Technical Innovation" class he teaches
at the Tuck School at Dartmouth.  Likewise, a chemistry 
professor used STELLA to model chemical reactions.  
     
    A system does not always act intuitively.  Using STELLA, one 
can model a system and observe it under different circumstances.
For a review of STELLA, see the Winter 1985 edition of "Wheels
For the Mind," a periodical published at Boston College by
the Apple University Educational Consortium.
