   Objectives

The objective of the IJCMSSE is to establish an effective channel of communication between academic and research institutions and persons concerned with industrial research supported by practical application. It also aims at promoting and coordinating developments in the field of computational materials science and computational surface engineering by publishing original scientific papers which describe computer-aided methods of modelling, simulation and prediction for designing new engineering materials and the technological processes of the manufacturing in materials that are used for solving problems posed by materials and surface engineering professionsals, industrial managers and administrators, and technical education personnel.

   Readership

IJCMSSE is intended for a broad audience such as research professionals, scientists, academics, engineers, policy-makers, managers and students in the field of materials science and engineering, materials processing technologies and surface engineering.

   Contents

IJCMSSE is a fully refereed, international journal, providing an international forum and an authoritative source of information in the field of computational materials science and surface engineering. It publishes primarily invited original high quality research and review papers, and features progress reports, short communications, technical reports, case studies, management reports, conference reports, and book reviews. IJCMSSE periodically also publishes special issues devoted to developments in important topics including selected scientific conference proceedings.
