Guide for Authors
Aims and scope
Computer-Aided Design is a leading international journal that provides academia and industry with key papers on research and developments in computational foundations and methods of design. The term "design" is to be understood broadly to encompass conceptualization, synthesis, realization, and evolution of artifacts, processes, and systems (both natural and artificial).
Computer-Aided Design invites papers reporting new research, as well as novel or particularly significant applications, within a wide range of topics, spanning all stages of design from concept creation to manufacture and beyond. Contributions are welcome from all disciplines and application areas, provided that they have a significant geometric, topological, spatial, or configuration design content, and present developments likely to be of interest to a broad spectrum of researchers, educators, and practitioners of computer-aided design. In this context, examples of relevant topics include but are not limited to:
Foundational theories, frameworks, methodologies, and standards
Mathematical models, representations, and algorithms for shapes, solids, structures, and assemblies
Material, behavior, and physical modeling
Conceptual design and invention
Uncertainty and imprecision in computer-aided design
Multi-scale modeling and design of shape and material structures
System level design and model-based systems engineering
Programmable subtractive, additive, and hybrid manufacturing
Generative design, shape, topology, and material optimization
Computational planning, fabrication, and inspection
Discretization and meshing algorithms
Data acquisition, model recognition and reconstruction
Representation conversions and interoperability
Applications of AI in design, including neural networks and machine learning
Design ontologies, grammars, languages, and semantics
Data driven modeling and synthesis
Advanced support of manufacturing and downstream activities
Technologies in support of digital factory and digital twin concepts
User interfaces, system interfaces, and human-computer interaction
Design databases, knowledge repositories, object libraries and retrieval
Specific applications and significant benchmarks of computer-aided design
Types of Paper
Ideal research papers report significant developments, describe the relevant theoretical background, present a workable algorithm and give examples taken from real applications, stressing the practicality of the approach being presented.
Application papers contain new analyses of CAD techniques in practice, presenting authoritative results in a way that is likely to stimulate and influence research.
Review papers give genuine insight into specific areas of CAD research and development.
Letters to the Editors comment on topics that arise from material published in the journal.
Book reviews discuss major books in the area of CAD. Books for review should be sent to the Book Review Editor.
In addition to Technical Papers, the Editors will also consider short papers which is a short scientific communication that concentrates on a particular issue (either theoretical or practical) associated with a research problem, theory, finding, or implementation. It can be self-contained or related to previous work or publication. Such papers will be called Technical Notes. Authors should state whether they wish their manuscript to be considered under this heading.
