The
Journal deals with the question how complex real life problems
can be analyzed and handled with scientific methods and
models.
Because such problems most of the time cannot
be handled by one discipline, the journal is interdisciplinary.
Contributions may come from the social and
natural sciences that practice interdisciplinary research of complex problems.
In the past articles are published
with topics as 'Policy making for complex problems', 'Participative Model
building in Healthcare', 'Complex System Theory for Analysis of Locomotion',
'Non Linear Models for Economy', 'From Information to Communication', 'Logistic
Modeling for Complex Situations', 'Computer Simulation of Chaos and Order',
'Evaluation of Future Predictions'.
The publication of the Journal will be four
times a year.
Two referees will review submitted articles, and
on their advice the editors will decide about the publication.
From time to time a special edition on a theme
will be published.
This journal is supported by:
-The Dutch research Group on Simulation
-The Dutch research group on Methodology for Complex Societal
Problems
-The Dutch research group on Socio-Cybernetics
All groups of the ‘Dutch Association of Researchers of Methodology of
the Social Sciences’ (NOSMO)
-The Dutch Institute for Social Science Research (SISWO)
-The Research Group 'Methodology of Complex Societal Problems'
of the 'European Federation of Operational Research Science'.
