Purpose of the Series: The IFSR International Series on Systems Science and Systems Engineering book series is devoted to the demonstration of systems science and engineering as a body of integrated concepts, principles, methodologies, tools, and perspectives all directed toward a better understanding of the nature of systems (systemness) and how to use systems approaches in the other sciences and engineering practice. This series seeks to provide systems knowledge to a broad and diverse audience of those interested in a much deeper understanding of how the world works.
Submission of Proposals
The Editorial Board will solicit high quality monographs, edited collections, and textbooks that focus on research in areas of Systems Science and Engineering with the intent of making systems science, literacy, and thinking available to all involved in formulating the future of humanity. Topics of great interest include complex adaptive and evolvable systems. The research topics can be either theoretical or applied (e.g. action research) as long as they incorporate theories or principles specific to systems science.
Book proposals should demonstrate the integration of subjects across disciplinary lines within the system sciences, such as showing relations between cybernetics and hierarchy theory and other fields (see list below). The ideal proposal will provide both quantitative and qualitative explanations that allow those with strong mathematical backgrounds to absorb the quantitative aspects, but also allow those with more qualitative interests to gain substantial insights into the work.
Some examples of subject areas are:
Systems Science and Engineering Areas of Interest:
- Complexity Theory
- Network Theory
- Hierarchy, Holarchy, and Panarchy Theories
- Dynamics
- Emergence and Evolution
- Modelling (System Dynamics, Agent-based, Dynamical Systems, etc.)
- Computational Intelligence and Learning Systems
- Systems Analysis and Synthesis Application Areas:
- Biological & Ecological Systems
- Human Social & Organization Systems
- Economics
- Management & Governance
- Methodologies (Applied Systems Science or Engineering)
Submission Instructions:
Proposals for books to be published in the IFSR Book Series should be submitted to the Editor, George Mobus, either by e-mail to gmobus@uw.edu or by regular mail to the Editorial Office: 401 Manchester Road, Vestal, New York 13850, USA.
