The development of computational methods for the solution of scientific and engineering problems governed by the laws of mechanics was one of the great scientific and engineering achievements of the second half of the 20th century, with a profound impact on science and technology. This is accomplished through advanced mathematical modeling and numerical solutions reflecting a combination of concepts, methods and principles that are often interdisciplinary in nature and span several areas of mechanics, mathematics, computer science and other scientific disciplines as well.Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering was founded over five decades ago, providing a platform for the publication of papers in this important field of computational science and engineering. The range of appropriate contributions is very wide. It covers any type of computational method for the simulation of complex physical problems leading to the analysis and design of engineering products and systems. This includes theoretical development and rational applications of mathematical models, variational formulations, and numerical algorithms related to finite element, boundary element, finite difference, finite volume, isogeometric and meshless discretization methods in the following fields of of simulation-based engineering science:• Solid and structural mechanics • Fluid mechanics • Mechanics of materials • Heat transfer • Dynamics • Geomechanics • Acoustics • Biomechanics • Nanomechanics • Molecular dynamics • Quantum mechanics • Electromagneticsand also includes virtual design, multiscale phenomena, from nanoscale to macroscale, multiphysics problems, parallel computing, optimization, machine learning, probabilistic and stochastic approaches.CMAME publishes original papers at the forefront of modern research describing significant developments of computational methods in solving problems of applied mechanics and engineering.

The Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics publishes original papers of high scientific value in all areas of computational and applied mathematics. The main interest of the Journal is in papers that describe and analyze new computational techniques for solving scientific or engineering problems. Also the improved analysis, including the effectiveness and applicability, of existing methods and algorithms is of importance. The computational efficiency (e.g. the convergence, stability, accuracy, ...) should be proved and illustrated by nontrivial numerical examples. Papers describing only variants of existing methods, without adding significant new computational properties are not of interest.The audience consists of: applied mathematicians, numerical analysts, computational scientists and engineers.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

A journal of IFAC, the International Federation of Automatic ControlNonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems (NAHS) welcomes all original research papers on mathematical concepts, tools, and techniques from control theory, computer science, and applied mathematics for the modelling, analysis and design of hybrid dynamical systems, i.e., systems involving the interplay between discrete and continuous dynamic behaviors.Hybrid systems are ubiquitous in many branches of engineering and science as they can model broad ranges of dynamical systems. In particular, in cyber-physical systems, which integrate sensing, computation, control and communication (cyber) parts into physical objects and infrastructures, hybrid systems play an instrumental role. The description of the behavior of the cyber parts often calls for discrete models (automata, finite-state machines, switching logic, etc.), while the physical (thermal, mechanical, electrical, physical, biological) parts are well captured by continuous modelling formalisms (e.g., differential equations), thereby naturally resulting in hybrid system models such as (stochastic) hybrid automata, timed automata, switched systems, impulsive systems, jump-flow models, piecewise affine systems, non-smooth systems, etc. Also, many physical phenomena can often be well described by non-smooth or hybrid models, including mechanical systems with impacts and friction (walking robots), switched power converters and biological systems (e.g., firing neuron models).Hybrid systems can exhibit very rich dynamics and their analysis calls for new and strong theorical foundations to guarantee their stability, safety, functionality, and performance. The development of systematic methods for efficient and reliable design of hybrid systems is therefore a key challenge on the crossroads of control theory and computer science. It is currently of high interest to control engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians in research institutions as well as in many industrial sectors.Contributions to Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems are invited in all areas pertaining to hybrid dynamical systems including: Modeling, modeling languages and specification;Analysis, computability and complexity;Stochastic hybrid systems;Impulsive systems;Formal verification and abstraction;Optimization and controller synthesis;Control over communication networks including self- and event-triggered control;Network Science and multi-agent systems;Fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control;Simulation, implementation and tools;Safety, security, privacy, and resilience for cyber-physical systems;Planning and integrated control in dynamical systems.Contributions on applications of hybrid dynamical systems methods are also encouraged. Fields of interest include: process and manufacturing industries, automotive and mobility systems, avionics, communication networks and networked control systems, energy and power systems, transportation networks, cyber-physical and embedded systems, (synthetic) biology and biomedical applications, life sciences, safety-critical systems, mobile and autonomous robotics, and other related areas.
Pattern Recognition is a mature but exciting and fast developing field, which underpins developments in cognate fields such as computer vision, image processing, text and document analysis and neural networks. It is closely akin to machine learning, and also finds applications in fast emerging areas such as biometrics, bioinformatics, multimedia data analysis and most recently data science. The journal Pattern Recognition was established some 50 years ago, as the field emerged in the early years of computer science. Over the intervening years it has expanded considerably.The journal accepts papers making original contributions to the theory, methodology and application of pattern recognition in any area, provided that the context of the work is both clearly explained and grounded in the pattern recognition literature. Papers whos primary concern falls outside the pattern recognition domain and which report routine applications of it using existing or well known methods, should be directed elsewhere. The publication policy is to publish (1) new original articles that have been appropriately reviewed by competent scientific people, (2) reviews of developments in the field, and (3) pedagogical papers covering specific areas of interest in pattern recognition. Various special issues will be organized from time to time on current topics of interest to Pattern Recognition. Submitted papers should be single column, double spaced, no less than 20 and no more than 35 (40 for a review) pages long, with numbered pages.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
