W. Dale Blair of the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) was recently appointed to serve as the founding Editor-in-Chief (EiC) for the new IEEE Open Journal of Systems Engineering (OJSE). Ljiljana Trajkovic of Simon Fraser University was appointed to serve as the Associated EiC for IEEE OJSE. The new open-access technical journal is devoted to the multidisciplinary aspects of systems engineering. Systems engineering involves elements of model-based systems engineering; digital thread; requirements generation, flow down, tracking, needs analysis, and validation/verification; integration and test; and full life cycle support of the target system.
Dr. Blair is an IEEE Fellow and the 2001 recipient of the IEEE Fred Nathanson Award for Outstanding Young Radar Engineer for the advancement of multitarget-multisensor tracking and radar resource allocation. Dr. Blair’s publications include coeditor and coauthor of Multitarget-Multisensor Tracking: Applications and Advances III (ARTECH House, 2000); two chapters in Principles of Modern Radar: Vol I (SciTech Publishing, 2010); a chapter in Modeling and Simulation Support for System of Systems Engineering Applications (Wiley, 2015); 34 refereed journal articles, more than 50 refereed conference papers; and more than 150 other technical papers and reports. His editorial accomplishments include Editor for Radar Systems of the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems (T-AES), 1996-1999; Editor-In-Chief (EiC) of the T-AES, 1999-2005; and founding EiC for the Journal for Advances in Information Fusion, Fusion, 2005-2013.
Ljiljana Trajkovic received the Dipl. Ing. degree from the University of Pristina, Yugoslavia, the M.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering and computer engineering from Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of California at Los Angeles. She is currently a professor in the School of Engineering Science, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. Her research interests include communication networks and dynamical systems. She served as IEEE Division X Delegate/Director and President of the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society and the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. Dr. Trajkovic serves as Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Human-Machine Systems. She is a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Circuits and System Society, a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society, and a Fellow of the IEEE.
Submission Information
OJSE seeks scholarly papers that report original research on the methodologies, tools, principles, and applied engineering aspects of the process of systems engineering for complex systems. OJSE also seeks proposals for special issues. Details for proposing a special issue are available at http://ieee-aess.org/OJSE. Manuscripts are submitted at https://ieee.atyponrex.com/journal/ojse. The publication cost of Open Access articles are paid by the authors. In 2023, publication costs are projected to be $975 (USD) for a ten-page manuscript. OJSE is sponsored by the consortium of IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society, IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society, and IEEE Systems Council.
