World2 Forrester's World Model
	World3 Meadows' World Model (2004 Edition)

This package offers currently two different world models: Jay Forrester's WORLD2 model (1971), and Dennis (and Dana) Meadows' WORLD3 model (1972), the latter in its most recently updated form of 2004.

World modeling is one of the most important applications of the System Dynamics methodology. This application, highly popular in the 1970s, has recently found renewed interest due to the widely discussed advents of Peak Oil and Global Warming.
