Society faces many significant challenges: pollution, poverty, pain, terrorism, crime, greenhouse effect, war, disease, starvation, road accidents, inflation/deflation, unemployment, pornography, great suffering, ignorance, pesticide poisoning, falsehood, etc. It could be argued that scientists have spent too much time on many not-so-urgent issues and too little effort on these challenges. IJSSS addresses the barriers between: social and natural sciences, theory and applications, hard decision models and soft ones, different business disciplines, government and industry, ivory tower and real society.

 



 Topics covered include

  • Analytical hierarchy process, data envelopment analysis
  • Behavioural science, clinical psychology, ethics
  • Benchmarking, organisational informatics
  • Business strategy
  • Decision support systems, decision theory, computer simulation
  • [Urban] development policy/management, economics, geography/society
  • Education, healthcare and legal systems
  • E-government, politics, public/international affairs, e-society
  • Environmental protection, sustainable development
  • Expert systems, fuzzy logic, goal programming
  • Information sciences/technology, IT and organisations
  • Media and communications, knowledge management
  • Science, technology and society
  • Social informatics, networking, psychology, responsibility
  • Sociology, social sciences, social security systems, socio-technical networks

More on this journal...
ObjectivesThe objectives of IJSSS are to call for attention to be paid to interdisciplinary principles, architectures, techniques, methodologies, models, as well as the appropriate strategies, which can solve the various society-related dilemmas. Social scientists and natural scientists might work together to promote synergy. Theory and application can be integrated. Hard and soft decision models could be interchanged. Different disciplines in the business world should be integrated. Government and industry should be incorporated. Scientists in ivory towers must face the real challenges in the whole of society. When one part of the society offers its service to the other, it is very likely that both parties will benefit. Only in this way can the talents and the resources from different areas be fully utilised for the benefits of the entire society.
