Applications of Complex System Approach in Project Management

Dear Colleagues,

As the complexity of projects increase, systems thinking is needed to analyze how these projects should be managed. In this Special Issue, we would like to invite you to submit papers on applications of complex system approach in project management. Various applications of models and methods to manage the complexity of projects are welcome, including modelling and simulations tools based on discrete event simulation, systems dynamics, and agent-based modelling. It is expected that the papers will present new ideas to project management academics and practitioners in order to implement system approach in complex projects.

Examples of such applications include but are not limited to the following:

• Analysis of system maintenance and reliability.
• Implementation of system dynamics in critical infrastructures.
• Modelling and simulation of complex systems.
• Complex system analysis in water and energy systems.
• Systems thinking applications in project management.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
