Announcing....
Computers, Environment and Urban Systems has been accepted for coverage by Thomson Scientific, beginning with V.30 (1) 2006. The impact factor will be produced for 2008 which will be published in 2009.
Description
Computers, Environment and Urban Systems is an integrated, interdisciplinary journal focusing on the development, application
and enhancement of computer-based methodologies for understanding and improving environmental and urban systems. Original high quality
scholarship is of an applied, theoretical or technological nature, and provides a lively presentation of perspectives, research developments,
overviews of important new technologies and uses of major computing innovations. Applied contributions demonstrate the scope of computer-based
analysis of environmental and urban systems. Interdisciplinary perspectives are strongly encouraged. Application areas include communications,
environmental issues and problems, urban planning, economic development, education, health care, housing, infrastructure and facilities
management, physical planning and urban design, tourism and recreation, transportation and business and service planning.
Theoretical
papers focus on (1) appropriate and context sensitive use of computer technology, and/or (2) the scientific foundations of computer-based
technology in the analysis and improvement of environmental and urban systems. Papers on the general role of computers in organistations,
effective computer utilization, professional practice, measurement and evaluation standards, policy statement, and ethical or philosophical
concerns are especially welcome. Scholarship in this area is particularly meaningful if placed alongside broad societal policies and
political processes of decision making and implementation, or micro level administrative and organizational structures and decision processes.
Demonstrations involving scientific concepts and tools of analysis (e.g. decision support systems, new technologies, the Internet, database
design, modelling and simulation, social accounting and other analytical foundations of general systems theory) in computerized form
provide further insight into the form and functioning of environmental and urban systems.
Contributions emphasising the development
and enhancement of computer-based technology for analysis and improvement of environmental and urban systems are especially sought.
Technology contributions utilise, among others, geographic information systems, computer-aided design, networks and internet portals,
innovative client - server architectures, expert and knowledge engineering systems. The nature and practicalities of human-computer
interactions are also frequently emphasised.
