I'm not sure if this is what you're asking -- I come at this from the
commercial rather than academic side, so may be unaware of some of the
terminological nuances -- but my company produces an agent-based simulation
technology that hits the first three of those, potentially the fourth. Is
it a "systems dynamics model"? I don't know enough of the pedagogy to say.
If there are other models that hit all of these points, I would be
interested to hear about it.
