MISSION OF IJITSA
Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible
publication in the International Journal of Information Technologies and
Systems Approach. The primary objective of IJITSA is to disseminate and
discuss high quality research results on information systems and related
upper and lower level systems as well as on its interactions with software
engineering, systems engineering, complex systems and philosophy of
systems sciences issues, through rigorous theoretical, modeling,
engineering or behavioral studies in order to explore, describe, explain,
predict, design, control, evaluate, interpret, intervene and/or develop
organizational systems where information systems are the main objects of
study and the systems approach – any variant –is the main research method
and philosophical stance used.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MAIN TOPICS:
Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to)
the following:

• Systemic studies on the diverse types of IS (TPS, MIS, OAS, DMSS, KBS,
KMS, IS, ERP, EIS, IOS, BPIS, among others)
• Systemic studies on the diverse types of IT organizational settings
(personal computing, home-based computing, end-user computing,  office
computing,  corporative computing, inter-organizational computing)
• IT-based system systemic design methodologies
• IT-based system systemic evaluation methodologies
• IT-based system systemic implementation methodologies
• Systemic evaluation and review of IT (technologies, tools, technological
trends)
• International standards and models for IT-based systems and its
relations with systems approach
• Systemic innovative IT-based systems studies addressing real problems
• Challenges and ill-structured worldwide problems linked to IT-based
systems from a systems approach view (green IT, national security, human
rights, global education, mobile education, global economy,  interaction
between developed and developing organizations, e-digital gap,  service
systems,  cultural differences, among others)
• Systemic frameworks, models, and theories for engineering issues for
IT-based systems
• Systemic frameworks, models, and theories for managerial issues for
IT-based systems
• Systemic frameworks, models, and theories for organizational issues for
IT-based systems
• Interdisciplinary systemic relevant themes from information systems and
software-systems engineering
• Interdisciplinary systemic relevant themes from information systems and
complex systems
• Systems methodologies for basic and applied research
• Systems methodologies for consulting activities
• IT curriculum systemic studies on undergraduate and graduate programs
• IT systemic studies on accreditation undergraduate and graduate programs
• IT systemic studies on Faculty issues (tenure promotions, profile of
PhDs, types of institutions (research-oriented vs teaching-oriented ones)
• Multi-method systemic research methods to study IT-based systems
• Debates on research methods and systems approach for IT-based systems
• Philosophical themes related with research methods and systems science
for IT-based systems
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Interested authors please send your article to [ijitsa at gmail.com] in two
files: cover page file with full author's affiliation data, and full
article file without author's data. All article submissions will managed
by the Associate Editor most adequate by the article's topic among
Information Technology Systems, Software Systems Engineering, Systems
Engineering or Philosophy of Systems Science areas. The article will be
reviewed by three members of the ERB through a double-blind peer review
process. Final decision regarding acceptance/revision/rejection will be
based on the reviews received from the reviewers.
