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 Research Group 'Methodology
of Complex Societal Problems'
of the 'European Federation of
Operational Research Science'.
