Abstract for: Latin America Chapter Poster Presentation and Annual Meeting

The Latin-American Chapter, a positive feedback loop, has the mission to help the SD-community grow in the Spanish speaking countries. Founded in 2003, it has Latin-American members from Mexico to Chile, as well from Spain and a growing number of Spanish speakers living in other countries. Since 2003, the annual meeting allows practitioners to gather and newcomers to get in to touch; we have been in Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Argentina and Brasil so far. These conferences are the base of our positive feedback loop: each year the number of works submitted and presented is increased. Since 2005, the Spanish Revista de Dinámica de Sistemas (http://dinamica-sistemas.mty.itesm.mx) publishes two numbers per year. The sisTEMAS newsletter and a mail list allow keeping in touch. During 16-18 November, the 9th Latinamerican Conference took place in Brasilia, Brasil, organized by Universidad de Brasilia (http://www.sdsbrazil.org/congreso.htm.) and the next conference will take place in Buenos Aires, Argentina, November 21 through 23, 2013.
