The Journal of Grey System is an ISI journal and was launched in 1989. It contributes to the advance of knowledge directly related to the fundamental theory and practical applications of Grey System Theory and aims to foster a professional platform between leading scientists and practitioners from around the world to express their concerns, describe new methods, models, techniques and discuss application skill with grey system theory, as well as various contributions of hybrid approaches combining grey system theory with other theories for tackling uncertain information more effectively and efficiently. All the papers on developments of methodology, modeling technological and practical applications of Grey System Theory are welcome. In brief, the journal encourages and focuses on the development of functional methods, models, techniques and applications of Grey System Theory.
