Aims & Scope

The International Journal of Simulation Modelling (IJSIMM) provides a global forum for the publication of all forms of simulation modelling research work in academic institutions, in industry or in consultancy. The journal publishes only regular issues. Regular issues are collections of papers submitted without special invitation directly to the Editor-in-Chief. Part of an issue on a specific topic may be coordinated by a Guest Editor. The editors of the IJSIMM are searching primarily for original, high-quality, truly insightful, theoretical and application-oriented research papers (based on practical experience, case study situation or experimental results) dealing with simulation modelling, mainly within discrete-event simulation field and mechanical or industrial engineering. In selected chapters of the paper (in the Introduction or in the Literature review or in the Conclusion) the authors should include simple descriptions with clear answers to some of the following questions: - Where is the problem? - What is the original contribution of the paper? - Why should this contribution be considered important? - What are the most closely related publications by others? - How can other researchers make use of the results and findings of the paper? - Does the paper have the potential to make an impact to practice?
