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'.

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'.
