Call for Papers - Special Issue:

 

Special Issue on Information Entropy Models and Applications

International Journal of Information and Decision Systems (IJIDS)

Editor-in-Chief: John Wang 
www.inderscience.com/ijids/

Overview

Over the last 60 years since Shannon's paper on communication theory,
information entropy has emerged as a scientific basis to study complex
systems beyond communication including manufacturing systems, supply chains
and service systems. This special issue is intended to bring together
state-of-the-art in models and applications of information entropy. 

The published papers are expected to present high quality research results
in diverse, complex, domains. This special issue will serve as a one-stop
source for education, information, and reference to professors, researchers
and graduate students interested in information entropy.

Topics

Areas of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to,
the modeling and application of information entropy in the following area:

.  Design, operations and management

.  Characterizing complexity measures

.  Network complexity

.  Supply chain vulnerability

.  Integration of information technology 

.  Manufacturing, supply chain and service sector

.  Applications to real-world problems

.  Case studies
