Scope

• Artificial intelligence and decision making head the published list of interests, taking in inference, learning systems and the machinery that turns machine output into an actionable choice.人工智能与决策在公开的选题清单上排在最前，涉及推理、学习系统，以及把机器输出转换为可执行选择的那套机制。
• Bio-informatics and medical decision making form a strand of their own, where clinical evidence and genomic data are worked into diagnostic or therapeutic judgements.生物信息学与医学决策自成一条线索，临床证据与基因组数据在此被加工成诊断或治疗判断。
• Data mining and web mining run through the volumes, with pattern discovery, classification and association rules applied to commercial records, financial histories and text.数据挖掘与网络挖掘贯穿各卷，模式发现、分类与关联规则被用于商业记录、金融历史以及文本资料。
• Data warehouse design and its applications sit beside database performance evaluation, a pairing that keeps the engineering side of analytical systems in view.数据仓库的设计与应用同数据库性能评估并列，这一搭配让分析系统的工程侧面始终留在视野之内。
• Decision support systems, and the design of decision technology within information systems, recur in the contents more often than any other single theme.决策支持系统，以及信息系统内部决策技术的设计，在目次中出现的次数超过其他任何单一主题。
• Group decision making and its software, multi-criteria methods and preference modelling belong to one family, since collective choice needs an algorithm and a platform at once.群体决策及其软件、多准则方法与偏好建模属于同一族问题，集体选择同时需要算法与承载它的平台。
• Fuzzy logic, soft sets and intelligent information processing carry the mathematical wing of the remit, in which imprecision is modelled rather than removed.模糊逻辑、软集与智能信息处理承载着范围中偏数学的一支，不精确性在此得到建模，无须先行消除。
• Habitual domains and information technology remain a signature subject, inherited from the paper that opened volume one and revived by later authors.习惯领域与信息技术仍是标志性题目，它承自第 1 卷的开篇论文，又被后来的作者重新提起。
• Electronic commerce brings a cluster of related subjects, among them decision models for transactions and payment, platform pricing and the conduct of firms that trade mainly online.电子商务带来一簇相关题目，其中有交易与支付的决策模型、平台定价，也有以线上交易为主的企业行为。
• Information security decision making, information ethics and legal evaluation ask what a defensible choice looks like once the data themselves are in dispute.信息安全决策、信息伦理与法律评估追问的是，数据本身陷入争议之后怎样的选择才站得住。
• Economic decision making and information systems, enterprise computing and its evaluation, carry the readership into management schools and industrial planning departments.经济决策与信息系统、企业计算及其评估，把读者群带入管理学院与产业规划部门。
• Knowledge representation models, intelligent agent technology and information retrieval systems are listed as standing interests, a cluster that has sharpened as retrieval turned statistical.知识表示模型、智能体技术与信息检索系统被列为常设方向，这一簇随着检索转向统计方法而日益清晰。
• Human-computer interaction, information overload, information policy and the relation between information technology and organisational behaviour complete the coverage the aims statement declares.人机交互、信息过载、信息政策，以及信息技术与组织行为的关系，补齐了宗旨声明所划定的覆盖范围。
• Efficiency measurement by data envelopment analysis, forecasting and recommender techniques appear often enough to count as regular fare rather than occasional visitors.以数据包络分析完成的效率测度、预测方法与推荐技术出现得足够频繁，已经算常规内容，而非偶一为之的客串。
• Two kinds of manuscript are sought, academic work of a theoretical or empirical cast and practical papers built on case studies, provided both carry a decision problem worth solving.刊物征两类稿件，一是理论或实证取向的学术论文，二是建立在案例之上的实践论文，两者都须带有一个值得求解的决策问题。

History

• Volume 1, number 1 appeared in March 2002 from World Scientific in Singapore, and an editor's introduction of three pages stood at the front of it.第 1 卷第 1 期于 2002 年 3 月由设在新加坡的 World Scientific 推出，卷首是一篇占三页的编者导言。

Editors

• Yong Shi has held the editorship from volume one, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences lists the founding editor-in-chief post among his standing appointments.（Yong Shi）自第 1 卷起主持编务，中国科学院在介绍他的学术兼职时，把该刊的创立主编一职列在其中。
• His research on data mining and knowledge management, built on multi-objective programming, explains the journal's long appetite for optimisation-based learning methods.他以多目标规划为基础的数据挖掘与知识管理研究，解释了刊物为何长期偏爱以优化为骨架的学习方法。
• Two bodies sit beneath the editor, an Advisory Board and an Editorial Board, and the published procedure gives both a direct hand in refereeing.主编之下设顾问委员会与编辑委员会，公开的审稿程序把评审之责直接交给这两处。
• A manuscript reaches the editor, who either passes it to a board member for routing to at least two competent referees or asks two board members to review it themselves.稿件先送到主编手上，或由他转交一位委员，再由该委员送至少两位有能力的审稿人，或直接请两位委员亲自评审。
• Reports come back to the editor, and the choice between acceptance, rejection and revision rests with him rather than with the referees.评审意见回到主编手中，录用、退稿与退修之间的取舍由他作出，审稿人不出此决定。
• Manuscripts are filed through Editorial Manager, the Aries Systems platform the publisher licenses, so text, reports and the decision letter stay in one place.稿件经 Editorial Manager 归档，这套系统由 Aries Systems 提供，文稿、评审意见与决定函因而不致散落。

• Board membership spans computing and management science, so a paper on fuzzy preference relations and one on hospital efficiency reach different readers on the same board.编委横跨计算与管理科学，论述模糊偏好关系的论文与讨论医院效率的论文，在同一个编委会里落到不同的人手上。
• Fit is judged against the bridge in the title, and a submission confined to algorithm design has to say which decision it improves.是否合于范围按刊名里那座桥来判断，只停留在算法设计层面的投稿，须说明它改善的是哪一类决策。
• Corrections, retractions and authorship disputes follow the publisher's publication-ethics rules, applied across the World Scientific list rather than drafted for this title alone.更正、撤稿与署名争议依出版方的出版伦理规则处理，这套规则在 World Scientific 的全部刊物上通用，并非为本刊单拟。
• Editorial correspondence is addressed to the publisher's Singapore office, which keeps the handling of manuscripts separate from any single university department.编辑通信寄往出版方设在新加坡的办公室，稿件处理因此不依附于任何一所大学的院系。
