The objective of this journal is to communicate recent and projected advances in computer-based engineering techniques. The fields covered include mechanical, aerospace, civil and environmental engineering, with an emphasis on research and development leading to practical problem-solving. 
The scope of the journal includes: 
• Innovative computational strategies and numerical algorithms for large-scale engineering problems 
• Analysis and simulation techniques and systems 
• Model and mesh generation 
• Control of the accuracy, stability and efficiency of computational process 
• Exploitation of new computing environments (eg distributed hetergeneous and collaborative computing) 
• Advanced visualization techniques, virtual environments and prototyping 
• Applications of AI, knowledge-based systems, computational intelligence, including fuzzy logic, neural networks and evolutionary computations 
• Application of object-oriented technology to engineering problems 
• Intelligent human computer interfaces 
• Design automation, multidisciplinary design and optimization 
• CAD, CAE and integrated process and product development systems 
• Quality and reliability 
The journal publishes research papers, survey papers on key application areas, short communications and technical notes, discussions, software reviews and book reviews. A conference calendar is also included – entries welcome.
