DISCRETE EVENT DYNAMIC SYSTEMS-THEORY AND APPLICATIONS《离散活动动态系统:理论与应用》(季刊). The focus of this journal is on general theories and methodologies of discrete event dynamic systems (DEDS) and their applications, as well as on practical problems from which some generally applicable theories or methodologies can be formulated. The scope of the journal is defined by its emphasis on the modeling of discrete events by dynamic systems, and on problems of their control and optimization. All papers are peer-reviewed.
