转自邮件 ，介绍Journal of Industrial Ecology 的一期的内容，感兴趣的同学可以查看一下。

 The Journal of Industrial Ecology has recently published a 
special issue on Complexity and Industrial Ecology (J. Ind. Ecology 
13(2), 2009). The special issue presents emerging work on applying 
complex systems theory to improve the understanding of the 
sustainability and evolution of anthropogenic systems. The opening 
editorial summarizes the content of the issue and is available for 
free download. The special issue is available at 
<http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/122352252/issue>.

To provide a holistic perspective, the "Forum" articles in this 
special issue address:
        * industrial ecology as a normative discipline
        * a sociotechnical complex systems perspective as a 
foundation for industrial ecology
        * the implications of 21st century technology trends for the 
sociotechnical design space
        * complexity and transition management
        * complex systems science and participatory modeling, role 
play and games

The "Research and Analysis" Articles report emerging work on the 
operationalization of theories and tools such as:
        * multi-agent systems, agent-based modeling (ABM), and 
system-of-systems
        * input-output analysis, system dynamics and optimization.
        * the combination of ABM and life cycle assessment

Regions and topics examined include:
        * urban development, industrial regions
        * urban, energy and industrial infrastructure
        * the Australian economy, green niche markets
        * air transportation and bioenergy networks

        The Journal of Industrial Ecology is an international, 
multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed bimonthly published by 
Wiley-Blackwell, owned by Yale University, and headquartered at the 
Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies.  The special issue 
is edited by Gerard P.J. Dijkema, of Delft University of Technology, 
the Netherlands, and Lauren Basson, of the University of Surrey, United Kingdom
