Aims and scope
Civil Engineering and Environmental Systems is devoted to the advancement of systems thinking and systems techniques throughout systems engineering, environmental engineering decision-making, and engineering management. We do this by publishing the practical applications and developments of “hard” and “soft” systems techniques and thinking.

Submissions that allow for better analysis of civil engineering and environmental systems might look at:

Civil Engineering optimization
Risk assessment in engineering
Civil engineering decision analysis
System identification in engineering
Civil engineering numerical simulation
Uncertainty modelling in engineering
Qualitative modelling of complex engineering systems
Submissions on systems thinking that advance our understanding of complex civil engineering and environmental systems might examine:

Safety in engineering systems
Decision making with engineering systems
Risk management in engineering systems
Civil engineering environmental policy
Sustainable development in civil engineering
Submissions that fall outside the scope of Civil Engineering and Environmental Systems and will not be considered , include, but are not limited to, those on:

Testing of civil engineering materials, and the feasibility of use of sustainable materials.
Sustainable construction and building design where systems methods are incidental or treated as opaque (black-box) tools.
Construction management and project management case studies that are limited to surveys or bibliographic analysis and not systems analysis.
System analysis tools (e.g., ANN, fuzzy logic) where the focus is on an incremental improvement in the tool, or an application using opaque tools.
Modelling when the purpose is to solve a narrow specialist problem.
Case studies that do not give rise to generalized knowledge.
Once your paper has been assessed for suitability by the editor, it will then be peer-reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees. You can find out more information on our Instructions for Authors site.
