Which Future?

• Reaching out • Target audience• Professional engineers• Integration and involvement• Comprehensiveness• Support to education

Reaching Out

To expand publicity and interactions worldwide for the Systems Journal– at our conferences– at major conferences of the Member Societies– with non-IEEE entities

Publicity media – flyers to be distributed at major conferences– poster to be displayed at major conferences– announcements distributed through newsletters and

emailing lists of Member Societies

Target Readers

To focus publicity and publication

– on scientists

– on professional engineers

– on governmental bodies

– on students

To attract the various audiences with material valuable to them

Professional Engineers

To care specifically to the needs of professional engineers

through real cases and methodological perspective

Integration and Involvement

To attract interest from various technical

groups focusing on specific topics

To make everybody feeling at home

To attract contributions from outstanding

individuals and groups

Comprehensiveness

To promote visibility of the System Journal

Support to education
