IEEE Systems Journal

SCOPE: This journal is created to provide a systems-level focused forum for application-oriented manuscripts that address complex systems and system-of-systems of national and global significance. It is intended to encourage and facilitate cooperation and interaction among IEEE societies, and other professional societies, with systems-level and systems engineering interest.

JOUNRAL NEED: The journal in intended to stimulate awareness, appreciation and utilization of systems thinking and the supporting systems engineering disciplines. Themes that will be addressed include complexity, integration, inter-operability, dynamics, communication, effectiveness, ethics and completeness. This publication fills a void un-addressed by most other journals, both within IEEE and outside. Within the scope of this journal, areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Energy, Management, Disaster response, Space exploration, Manufacturing, Automation, Communication, Information and Computer Technologies including Cyberspace, Internet, Distributed Networks, Transportation, Environment including Earth Sciences, Socio-economic, Agricultural, Biological, Medical, Services, Educational Systems, Global warming, Ozone Layer issues, Safety concerns and systems engineering related topics to the System-of-Systems environment.

This journal intends to publish a number of special issues on key topics impacting the Globe or regional locations of the Globe as well as joint issues with Council member Societies' publications in an effort to target professionals from industry who may not yet addressed by the IEEE, in the desire to increase IEEE membership from these ranks. These Special Issues and Joint Issues would cut across the societies technical profiles and spreads industrial application-focused systems thinking, which is the primary reason for creating the Systems Council to a wave of a new audience.

Papers should be submitted in standard IEEE format (double column, font 10 Times Roman, keywords, corresponding author, etc.). We currently accept papers only in Adobe Acrobat PDF file format. See Paper Submission for details.

Questions concerning papers submitted to regular issues should be sent to the Editorial Manager, Siu Ying Shaneyfelt.
Questions concerning papers submitted to special issues should be sent to the respective guest editors (see the call for papers of the specific special issue).
Questions, comments and suggestions, and any other problem concerning the journal as well as any questions concerning papers accepted in special issues should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief, prof. Vincenzo Piuri.
