Aims and scope >>
This journal devoted to the rapid publication of research results in the field of CAD/CAM with an emphasis on the applications of the technology. Original papers from both industrial and academic contributors are welcome. The papers should be well-founded in theory and address practical needs

The areas of scope include, but not limited to, solid modeling, surface modeling, feature technology, concurrent engineering, collaborative engineering, Internet-based CAD/CAM, rapid prototyping, assembly modeling, product data exchange, intelligent CAD, user interaction techniques, computational geometry, FEM/BEM, mesh generation, virtual reality, scientific visualization, CAPP, NC programming, topological optimization.


Submissions >>

Submission can be made via email. A manuscript file may be directly sent to any one (corresponding editor) of the editorial members as an e-mail attachment.

Online Submission : Email to Editor-in-Chief

As for the style of manuscript, please refer the template file in Microsoft Word. Note that the template is provided as a recommendation purpose. As far as the manuscript follows the requirements of paper format guideline set by the journal, it is acceptable.

Review Process >>
All contributions will be evaluated by more than three referees designated by the Editor-in-Chief and the corresponding editor to ensure both accuracy and relevance
(see the review form). Author(s) are allowed to provide up to five candidates of referee who can review his or her paper. Revisions to the manuscript may thus be required and the acceptance of paper will be decided by the editorial board based on evaluations. The review result will be returned to author(s) within two months after the manuscript is received by the journal.

Copyright >>
By the acceptance of the paper, the copyright of the published paper should be transferred to the journal. However, the responsibility for the paper contents belongs to authors.

Presentation of Manuscripts >>
Only the manuscript written in English will be considered for the review process. Since no linguistic assistance will be provided by the journal, poorly written papers will not be considered for the publication.

The manuscript for the review should be prepared in a single column.

Once accepted for the publication in the journal, the file provided by the authors will be used for the publication with minimal editorial touch. Therefore, authors should comply the format guideline of provided macro file and example paper in PDF format very closely.

Manuscript should be prepared according to the template in the web page. The followings should be included in the manuscript.
(1) Title page including an abstract of 100-200 words, less than 5 key words, the
name, address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address of the
corresponding author.
(2) The main text with sections and sub-sections should be numbered. Tables and
figures should be included at appropriate places in the manuscript.
(3) Acknowledgements
(4) References
(5) Appendices ( if any )

Style of text >>
Units and Abbreviation: The Arabic numerals for numbers and the SI system for units should be used. Abbreviations should be clearly defined where they first occur.

Mathematical Setting and Special Symbols: Equations should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in parentheses on the right hand side of the page. Special symbols should be identified in the margin, and the meaning of all should be explained in the text where they first occur.

Tables >>
Tables should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and given a suitable caption at the top.

Illustrations>>
Figures including graphs, photographs, diagrams and other drawings should also be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals with a suitable caption at the bottom. Tables and illustrations should be placed near the texts which explain them, so that readers can easily refer.

References >>
References should be cited in the form of [Suri 87] and listed in an alphabetical order at the end of paper. The following format should be used:
Mortenson, M., Geometric Modeling, John Wiley & Sons, New York, pp.63-89, 1985.
Suri, R. and Hildebrant, R. R., "Modeling Flexible Manufacturing Systems," Journal of manufacturing Systems, Vol. 3, No. 1, pp. 27-38, Jan. 1987.

Page Charges >>
There is no page charge of the journal.
