The IEEE Systems Journal in intended to stimulate awareness, appreciation and utilization of systems thinking and the supporting systems engineering disciplines. This journal aims to be an archival publication for professional from industry, researchers, educators, and students, who are sharing a strong interest in complex systems and the system thinking perspective.
This journal will publish also special issues on hot topics with the systems thinking perspective. The following special issues are in progress: GEOSS: Creating a Global System of Systems, Grid Resource Management, Resilience Engineering, System Research on Service Systems, and Biometric Systems.
