AIMS AND SCOPE

   

The mission of the “Journal ofApplied Systems Studies” is on the development of 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 the “Journal ofApplied Systems Studies” are to widespread 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, “ Journal ofApplied Systems Studies” 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 upon them.
            The “Journal ofApplied Systems Studies” aims to:

• To provide a forum for the exchange of experiences and information of studying the systems and the methodologies, tools and products used to design, measure and achieve it.
• To promote awareness of the crucial role of systems studies in the effective construction of the information systems developed, used, and/or maintained by organizations 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.

            The “Journal ofApplied Systems Studies” addresses all aspects of systemic analysis from both a practical and an academic viewpoint. It invites contributions from practitioners and academics, as well as national and international policy, standard making bodies, and sets out to be the definitive international reference source for such information.
            The readership of the “Journal ofApplied Systems Studies” 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 science in different scientific discipline i.e. Universities, Consulting Firms, Enterprises and Industries.
