Aims and scope
SAEM is a leading international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the understanding, methodologies, tools, and practices in assessing systems performance and optimizing engineering management. The journal aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and scholars to disseminate their findings and insights into the diverse facets of systems assessment and engineering management.
The scope of SAEM, but is not limited to, the following areas:
Systems Performance Assessment:
- Development and application of methodologies for evaluating system efficiency, resilience, sustainability, and optimization strategies.
- Performance measurement, benchmarking, and modeling techniques for complex engineering systems.
- Assessment of system reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety.
Engineering Management Practices:
- Decision-making processes, models, and frameworks in engineering management, with particular emphasis on decision-making under uncertainty.
- Resource allocation, project management, and scheduling techniques for optimizing engineering operations.
- Risk assessment, mitigation strategies, and resilience planning in engineering systems.
Optimization Techniques:
- Mathematical programming, numerical optimization, metaheuristic algorithms, and evolutionary computation methods for solving engineering optimization problems.
- Multi-objective optimization approaches, Pareto optimization, trade-off analysis, and decision support systems.
- Data envelopment analysis (DEA) and efficiency evaluation techniques for performance assessment and improvement.
Emerging Technologies and Trends:
- Application of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics, and Internet of Things (IoT), in systems assessment and engineering management.
- Innovative methodologies, tools, and techniques for addressing contemporary challenges in engineering systems optimization and management.
