ObjectivesIJESMS aims to promote the advancement of fundamental understanding to processes encountered in engineering systems and to provide an international forum to report latest developments in modelling and simulation. It interprets the term, "engineering systems", in a broad sense provided that modelling and simulation plays a significant role in the associated studies. It particularly welcomes emerging methodologies and novel applications from different modelling problems in all engineering branches.ReadershipIJESMS provides a forum for professionals, academics and researchers working in the field of science, technology and engineering to disseminate information and research results and findings. Readers are those working in and related to the field of engineering systems in academia including professors, researchers and graduate students, and technologists including engineers, specialists, and technology managers from various industries.ContentsIJESMS publishes original and peer reviewed technical papers which advance understanding of both the fundamentals of engineering science and its application leading to the solution of problems in engineering systems. It is particularly concerned with the demonstration of engineering science modelling and solution to specific industrial problems. Surveys of newly maturing topics in the field, major developments in modelling and simulation, review papers and book reviews will also published. Breakthroughs can be communicated via short communication, commentaries, and letters to the editor. Contribution may be made by submission or invitation, and special issues devoted to important topics in engineering systems will also be published.
