• Problem Structuring (How do systems researchers identify their research question using systems tools and techniques used in systems practice)
  
• Framework (Does a framework help guide systems Research similar to the Theoretical Framework used in conventional research)
  
• Modelling and Simulation (How do models and simulation support systems research)
  
• Systems Intervention (What strategies and practice do systems researcher use to intervene in systems and collect valid information)
  
• Writing Up (What are some good practices in reporting systems research? Do they differ from how conventional research is reported?)
  
• Competencies (What competencies should systems researchers develop to carry out systems research)
  
• Competencies (How can we test or provide assurance that systems practitioners do have the competencies needed for their work?)
  
• Evaluation (How are outcomes and impact of systems research evaluated?)
  
• What are the ethical implications of conducting systemic research which impact a community much broader than those directly participating and giving informed consent? 
• Case Studies
  

Contributors are invited to present conceptual papers, empirical papers and case studies for academic and disciplinary applications. For more information see:
