- Conceptual systemic models, applications of systemic methodologies
- Applied [socio]cybernetics, ethical/living systems
- Complexity, chaos, self-organisation, [meta]control, viable systems
- Creativity, innovation, critical systems thinking, strategic/procedural systems design
- Digital service/workflow/legal systems, TQM, total systems intervention
- Education/learning communities, virtual enterprises/communities
- Emergence and neocybernetics, knowledge cybernetics systems
- Human-centred systems, human-computer interaction
- Interorganisational approaches, process reengineering
- Modelling/simulation, multiagent-based systems, pattern recognition systems
- Networks/global dynamics, system dynamics, new agora and global marketing
- Problem structuring/design systems, semantics, knowledge representation
- Social systems design and simulation, systemic multi-methodologies
- Systemic leadership/change, ontologies, systems thinking/archetypes
- Systems/metasystems and decisions/metadecisions, decision support systems
Objectives
The mission of IJASS is to develop methodologies based on the laws and rules of various sciences. New designs and functional methodologies are composed for applications in business, operational and social, as well as biological, phenomena. The objectives of IJASS are to spread the science of systems and present the research and application results of its domain. As the science rapidly changes and grows, resources and time become more precious. IJASS provides the very best information and analysis to keep up to date with the latest developments and approaches to other scientific domains, through the application of systems approaches to them.
IJASS aims:
- To provide a forum for the exchange of information on and experiences of studying the systems, and the methodologies, tools and products used to design, measure and achieve them.
- To promote awareness of the crucial role of systems studies in the effective construction of the information systems developed, used, and/or maintained by organisations in pursuit of their business objectives.
- To provide a vehicle for the publication of academic papers related to all aspects of soft and hard system approaches.
Readership
The readership of IJASS consists of academics, systems managers, computer scientists, information scientists, and researchers in applied system theory, as well as those involved in management, operations and political and social sciences in different scientific disciplines, i.e. universities, consulting firms, enterprises and industries.
Contents
IJASS publishes original work of an applied nature that significantly contributes to systems approaches. The journal also publishes book reviews and special issues devoted to important topics of a systemic nature. For special issues, IJASS accepts proposals on specific application domains of systems sciences, especially on emerging topics having focus on real systems or simulations based on representative traces from real systems. Review papers and technical reports are also welcome.
