Mission

The mission of the International Journal of System Dynamics Applications (IJSDA) is to provide a deeper understanding of the dynamic behavior of complex systems. The journal promotes the development of System Dynamics (SD) and the interchange of learning and research in related fields. As limited applications related to systems engineering and non-linear control systems and their dynamics exist in the literature, the journal provides this research from an engineering perspective. The journal publishes advances in mathematical modeling, computer simulations of dynamic feedback systems, and methods and applications of systems thinking approaches to promote this mission.

Coverage

Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Complex nonlinear dynamics and deterministic chaos
  • Complexity/Agent-Based Modeling
  • Control of chaotic systems
  • Corporate planning and policy design based on information feedback and circular causality
  • Decision support systems
  • Discrete event dynamic systems
  • Dynamics decision making
  • Economic dynamics
  • Energy and environmental dynamics
  • Generic structures (dynamic feedback systems that support particular widely applicable behavioural insights)
  • Healthcare dynamics
  • Mathematical modeling and computer simulation of dynamic feedback systems
  • Model calibration and validation
  • Modelling and analysis of engineering systems 
  • Modelling physiological systems 
  • Nonlinear and linear system identification
  • Nonlinear system control
  • Non-smooth dynamical systems with impacts or discontinuities
  • Operations management and supply chains 
  • Optimal control and applications
  • Psychology and social dynamics 
  • Qualitative system dynamics  
  • Significant contributions to system dynamics teaching
  • Soft computing (artificial intelligence, neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, etc.)
  • Static and dynamic systems modeling
  • System thinking
  • Various control techniques

Testimonials and Reviews

“I am proud to be among those chosen in the editorial board for the International Journal of System Dynamics Applications. The integrity and seriousness of IJSDA's peer review process is unquestionable. I have found that the papers submitted are of high quality and the blind review process provides highly useful feedback to the authors. I would like to encourage IJSDA to continue the good work.”
- Dr. Tsung-Chih Lin, Professor, Department of Electronic Engineering, Feng-Chia University, Taiwan

“The International Journal of System Dynamics Applications is providing a professional and peer-reviewed publishing venue for researchers. The service that IJSDA offers is both valuable and visionary. I enjoy serving in the editorial board and appreciate the opportunity to revise some interesting recent works or to publish research. The founder of IJSDA should be commended for great services they are rendering. “
- Valentina E. Balas. IEEE Senior Member, Aurel Vlaicu University of Arad, Romania

It is heartening to note that the galaxy of academicians and able administrators behind the International Journal of System Dynamics Application (IJSDA), in a very short span of time, has truly justified with its mission to provide a deeper understanding of the dynamic behaviour of complex systems by promoting the development of System Dynamics (SD) and the interchange of learning and research in related fields. As it is evident from the recent global trend of convergence of technologies and research disciplines, systems thinking has emerged as a true tans-disciplinary way of creating a better world and worldliness for resolving some of the most intriguing questions facing the humanity. I have all the sound reasoning to trust that IJSDA will establish its unique space in the field of systems thinking and dynamic modelling in this novel pursuit sooner than later. 
-Dr. Sanjay Bhushan, Assistant Professor, Dayalbagh Educational Institute, India
