International Journal of System of Systems Engineering (IJSSE) (ISSN: 1748-0671)

Description

The objective of IJSSE is to develop the concept, foundations, research directions, and practice implications for systems of systems engineering. Among the goals of the journal are to introduce the nature of the complex systems problems faced by the mega-class of systems of systems, and to explore the perspectives of systems of systems as well as their engineering and management standpoint. IJSSE aims to establish an effective channel of communication between various types of actors currently involved in using the systems thinking and systems engineering approaches at a different scale of applicability and complexity, namely policy makers, government agencies, academic and research institutions and persons concerned with the complex role of science, engineering, economics, living systems, organisational bodies, information and communication technologies, agriculture and emerging aspects related by the new risks and vulnerabilities to which these complex and sophisticated systems are prone to be exposed. It also aims to promote and coordinate developments in the field of agricultural resources. The international dimension is emphasised in order to overcome methodological and interdisciplinary barriers and to meet the needs of accelerating technological and ecological change and changes in the global economy, and the needs for tools, analytical instruments and adequate approaches under the current developments of supercomputers, agent based models, data warehousing, etc.
