Computer-Aided Design is an established international journal that
provides engineers, designers and computer scientists in
academia and
industry with key papers on research and developments in the application
of computers to the design process.
Computer-Aided
Design invites papers reporting new research and novel or
particularly significant applications within a wide range of topics,
including:
• CAD in conceptual design
• Design automation and optimization
• AI in design
•
Geometric methods and applied computational geometry
• Surface and solid modelling
• Parametric, constraint-based,
and feature modelling
• CAD interfaces to testing and analysis, including finite-element
methods
• Design
and planning for manufacturing, including numerical control,
rapid prototyping and robotics
• Design and planning for
assembly, maintainability, recycling etc
• Engineering data management and exchange, including design databases,
component
selection, product models, and life-cycle modelling
• Space and facilities planning and layout
• CAD user interfaces,
including computer graphics, virtual and augmented
reality
• Significant benchmarks, APIs, formats and standards in CAD
Contributions are acceptable across a wide range of disciplines,
including:
• Mechanical and production engineering
• Civil engineering, architecture and building
• Industrial and aesthetic design
Papers in areas such as electrical
and chemical engineering are also
welcome provided they have a significant geometric component, and
present developments
likely to be of interest across other areas of CAD; Computer-Aided Design does not cover topics such as logic and process
design.
Types of Papers
Ideal research papers will 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 will present the results of using a CAD technique in
practice, present
ground-breaking results and/or analyse the application
in a way that is likely to stimulate and influence research.
Review
papers are encouraged. They should give genuine insight into
specific areas of CAD research and development.
Letters
to the Editor are invited on topics that arise from material
published in the journal.
Books for review should
be sent to the Book Review Editor.
