Description
The International Journal of System Dynamics Applications (IJSDA) publishes original scientific and quality research on the theory of and advances in dynamical systems with analyses of measure-theoretical and topological aspects. This interdisciplinary journal provides audiences with an extensive exploration of the perspectives and methods of system dynamics and system thinking, which are applied to systems in the fields of engineering, soft computing, economics, management, and medicine, among others. The journal also covers strongly related research areas including control, automation, soft-computing and systems. IJSDA publishes original articles, reviews, technical reports, patent alerts, and case studies on the latest innovative findings of new methodologies and techniques. The journal welcomes active participation and contribution by researchers, not only by submitting original works but also by making constructive suggestions for improving the journal. IJSDA appeals to academics, researchers, and professionals in the fields of engineering, modeling, and computer simulation, decision analysis, soft computing, control systems, biomedical modeling, dynamical systems, applied mathematics, statistics, natural sciences, policy analysis, management science, economics, and behavioural sciences.

Mission and Scope
The mission of the
International Journal of System Dynamics Applications (IJSDA) is to provide a deeper understanding of the dynamic behavior of complex systems. The journal promotes the development of System Dynamics (SD) and the interchange of learning and research in related fields. Control systems coverage spotlights all aspects of control theory and related computational techniques and practical applications. Apart from conventional control, the journal publishes papers in the field of intelligent control and soft computing, particularly, intelligent systems, fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms/evolutionary computing, and probabilistic techniques. Detailed reviews of newly published books relevant to future studies in the field are also included. IJSDA serves as a highly useful reference for mathematicians, students, and researchers interested in the many facets of dynamical and control systems.

Reviews and Testimonials
"I am proud to be among those chosen in the editorial board for the International Journal of System Dynamics Applications. The integrity and seriousness of IJSDA's peer review process is unquestionable. I have found that the papers submitted are of high quality and the blind review process provides highly useful feedback to the authors. I would like to encourage IJSDA to continue the good work."
– Dr. Tsung-Chih Lin, Professor, Department of Electronic Engineering, Feng-Chia University, Taiwan
The International Journal of System Dynamics Applications is providing a professional and peer-reviewed publishing venue for researchers. The service that IJSDA offers is both valuable and visionary. I enjoy serving in the editorial board and appreciate the opportunity to revise some interesting recent works or to publish research. The founder of IJSDA should be commended for great services they are rendering.
– Valentina E. Balas. IEEE Senior Member, Aurel Vlaicu University of Arad, Romania
It is heartening to note that the galaxy of academicians and able administrators behind the International Journal of System Dynamics Application (IJSDA), in a very short span of time, has truly justified with its mission to provide a deeper understanding of the dynamic behaviour of complex systems by promoting the development of System Dynamics (SD) and the interchange of learning and research in related fields. As it is evident from the recent global trend of convergence of technologies and research disciplines, systems thinking has emerged as a true tans-disciplinary way of creating a better world and worldliness for resolving some of the most intriguing questions facing the humanity. I have all the sound reasoning to trust that IJSDA will establish its unique space in the field of systems thinking and dynamic modelling in this novel pursuit sooner than later.
– Dr. Sanjay Bhushan, Assistant Professor, Dayalbagh Educational Institute, India
