ANNOUNCE CFP: IJDSST Special Issue on Systems

Post by ""Manuel Mora T."" <mmora@sec »

Posted by ""Manuel Mora T."" <mmora@securenym.net>

*************************** CALL FOR PAPERS *************************
SUBMISSION DUE DATE: August 31, 2008
SPECIAL ISSUE ON
Decision-making Technologies: a Systems Approach
of the
International Journal of Decision Support System Technology (IJDSST)
Official publication of the Information Resources Management Association
www.igi-global.com/ijdsst
Published: Semi-annual (both in Print and Electronic form)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
AIM OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
To support and advance the development of engineering constructs,
frameworks and models, methods, processes and techniques, tools and
instruments, and instantiations of systems and components, as well as of
behavioral- oriented management constructs, frameworks, theories and
models (Hevner & March, 2003) of decision-making technologies for the
realization of efficient, effective and trustworthy DMSS in organizations
through a Systems Approach (Ackoff, 1973; Gelman & García, 1989), such as
Soft Systems (Checkland, 2000), System Dynamics (Forrester, 1991; Sterman,
1989), Critical Systems (Flood & Room, 1996), Viable System Model (Beer,
1984, 1989), Critical Realism-based Systems Approach (Mingers, 2000),
Fuzzy Systems (Bellman & Zadeh, 1970), and Simulation-based Systems
(Zeigler, 1998; Kljajic & Farr, 2008) among others. This special issue
invites to submit high-quality papers for reaching this aim and scope.

RECOMMENDED TOPICS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Main topics suggested (but not limited to) are:
theoretical, modeling/simulation-based or engineering-oriented studies on
-constructs
-frameworks and models
-methods, processes and techniques (includes computational mechanisms)
-tools and instruments
-instantiations of systems and components
for DMSS design and building based on the Systems Approach and clearly
linked to a decision-making process, as well as theoretical and empirical
behavioral-oriented studies on
-constructs
-theories, frameworks and models
for DMSS business case, project management, system implementation, and
system evaluation based on the Systems Approach and clearly linked to a
decision-making context.
