In order to avoid confusion and superfluous correspondence, authors are kindly requested to
regard the following when preparing their manuscript:
Modelling of systems and systems behavior is of importance in many engineering applications
and in simulation. Contrary to other periodicals, MCMDS concentrates on modelling.
Computer simulation is restricted to the field of modelling and the consequences of modelling,
but it does not include all the details of simulation languages or the general design of multipurpose
simulation programs independent on modelling aspects Papers dealing with
applications are accepted only when the purpose of the model, the assumptions (explicit and
implicit) made in its development and the precise process of model validation are discussed
carefully. Authors are requested to concentrate an those aspects which are of interest to a large
community of engineers and scientists and to organize the paper so that it is stimulating and
readable for engineers and scientists working in a wide range of application areas.
The journal will accept only papers submitted in English. Manuscripts should meet high
academic standards. Contributors need to remember that they are writing for an international
audience. National colloquialisms and idiomatic use of language should be avoided and gender
neutral language used. It may be useful for non-English speakers to have a native English
speaker read through the article before submission.
Manuscripts must be typed on one side of an 8 x 11 inch or A4 page only with approximately
1.5 inch (35 mm) margins.
Copyright will be established in the name of Swets & Zeitlinger.
Submission of a paper to MCMDS implies that it has not been published before and that it is
not being considered for publication elsewhere.
