Objectives
IJSCOM aims:
- To establish channels of communication and disseminate knowledge between academics, researchers, educators, policy makers, executives and practitioners working in the interdisciplinary fields of manufacturing information, internet, control systems, operational research and management
- To further the theory and technology in these fields to be used in manufacturing, and to accelerate the development of manufacturing
- To enable IT services and advanced computing to perform manufacturing services more efficiently and effectively
Readership
IJSCOM is a global forum to help policy makers, executives, academics, educators, researchers and practitioners working in the interdisciplinary fields of manufacturing, information, operational research, simulation, industrial informatics and management science to discuss important ideas and concepts, to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work.
Contents
IJSCOM primarily publishes original, empirical and review papers; case studies; conference and technology reports; and new book reviews. In addition to the regular issues of the journal, IJSCOM publishes Special Issues devoted to important topics in the areas listed above.
