Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainability and resilience are essential requirements in today’s business environment. Despite the fact the two ideas are highly interrelated, they differ in terms of concepts. In today’s modern world, existing physical and digital infrastructures are being strained by the expansion of the population and encounter challenges from adverse weather conditions, cyber intrusion, and even manmade attacks/sabotage. As a consequence, to develop robust infrastructure, organizational stakeholders are giving greater attention to both of these attributes (i.e., sustainability and resilience).

When applied to any domain, sustainability takes into consideration the environmental, economic, and social aspects of any processes, components, technologies, and logistics. Along with the fulfillment of sustainability criteria, an organization should also be able to react, with agility, to disruptive events that could occur at any time. Thus, resilience as a concept can be defined as the ability to “bounce back” after disruptions.

This Special Issue aims to present the efficacy of the adoption of systems dynamics (SD) simulation and a systems modeling language (SysML) approach in resilience and sustainability management, mainly toward enhancing and developing sustainable and resilient infrastructures in different domains. These encompass but are not limited to the following themes:

  • Systems engineering modeling language (SysML)
  • Model-based system engineering (MBSE)
  • System dynamics
  • Dynamic modeling
  • Systems thinking
  • Discrete simulation
  • Monte Carlo simulations
  • Petri nets
  • Systems engineering management
  • Environmental policymaking
  • Sociotechnical systems
  • Cyberphysical systems

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Systems is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).

In 2020, the cross-border e-commerce industry suffered a setback against the backdrop of the global epidemic. In the context of the global epidemic and economic structural reform and transformation, China has proposed a new economic pattern of “dual circulation” development, and this measure has greatly promoted the development of China’s cross-border e-commerce industry. According to relevant data, the export share of China’s cross-border e-commerce accounted for 77.6% of its market size in 2020. As a result, this paper studies the influence of the “dual circulation” measure on the development of cross-border e-commerce B2B export trade and classifies and analyzes the policies related to the cross-border e-commerce industry in the “dual circulation” measure. Then, a system dynamics model reflecting the lag effect of this measure on cross-border e-commerce B2B export is also constructed, and the effects of different single policies and different policy combinations on cross-border e-commerce B2B export are simulated successively. The modeling process and simulation results demonstrate that: (1) infrastructure investment of cross-border e-commerce is most affected by policy lag, followed by government supervision and enterprise operation, while talent training of cross-border e-commerce and customs supervision are almost not affected by policy lag; (2) tax policy, customs clearance policy, and fiscal policy have greater effects on the promotion of cross-border e-commerce B2B exports, while the payment policy and talent policy have less impact on them; and (3) from the simulation results of policy combination, it can be seen that the regulatory environment (i.e., regulatory policies) is the most important to promote cross-border e-commerce B2B export trade, followed by financial support, customs environment, and business environment. Finally, this paper gives suggestions for the formulation of relevant government policies to promote the development of cross-border e-commerce B2B export trade and provide some reference values for other governments to develop the cross-border e-commerce B2B export trade industry.
