The world consists of a large of natural as well as man-made systems, invariably both complex
and dynamic. Our knowledge about these systems depends on advances made in science and
technology. It is necessary to divide such systems into several subsystem to facilitate their
study. The prediction of the behavior of the system on the basis of the characteristics of the
subsystems is generally made using the system approach.
Mathematical modeling plays a very important role in the entire process as it helps to analyse
various variables and parameters of the system/subsystem under consideration, both in
quantitative and qualitative terms. The corresponding mathematical model predicts the future
behavior of the system under consideration. Recent developments in mathematical science and
computers have led to improved modeling and understanding of situations in all areas of human
activity including not only engineering, medicine, biology, ecology, environment, geology,
oceanography but in economics and a variety of other social sciences. Modeling and computer
simulation have become valuable tools for example, in industry for improving the manufacturing
process; in ecological and environmental sciences for analysis of biodiversity and prediction
of weather, ocean circulation, effects of deforestation, global warming, climatic change,
storm surges etc. in social sciences for developing strategies for sustainable development
and understanding social and economic change etc. This whole range of scientific activity
can be fostered through a forum where scientists from different disciplines, such as
Mathematics, Biolody, Medicine, Environment, Ecology and various branches of Engineering
as well as Social Sciences, can meet and discuss various relevant problems that human society
faces today. With this objective the ‘Indian Academy for Mathematical Modeling and Simulation (IAMMS) at the national level is being formed. This document describes the
constitution & Bye-Laws of Academy which will be used as general guidelines for functioning
& management.
