About the journal
Aims and Scope:
Concurrent Engineering: Research and Applications (CERA) is the premier publication for the newest and most exciting research arising from parallelism of product life cycle functions, covering:
·New developments in computer-aided concurrent engineering (CE) presented by leading CE specialists from around the world
·Advances in knowledge-based CE theory, methodologies and practical applications
·New information for integrated CE development and optimization of CAD/CAM/CAE/CIM systems.
CERA provides design, engineering and manufacturing professionals with quality articles on all aspects of CE. Computer-aided concurrent engineering enables faster to-market product development (e.g. Japanese fast-to-market concepts), reduced design and manufacturing costs, competitively superior products, longer product service life, and improved return on product investment. CE is a seamless, systematic integration of computer-aided product design, engineering and manufacturing, as well as post-manufacturing product life-cycle management.
Inter/multidisciplinary
Devoted to the international exchange of scientific information in this critical area, CERA is a multidisciplinary research and applications-oriented journal which fosters the exchange and integration of concepts and theories from diverse areas, as well as the cross-fertilization of enabling CE technologies.
The journal deals with all basic tracks that enable CE, including aspects of Information Modeling, Teaming & Sharing, Networking & Distribution, Planning and Scheduling, Reasoning & Negotiation, Collaborative Decision Making, and Organization and Management of CE.
Topics Covered Include:
· CE system design and implementation modelling
· information management
· design automation
· knowledge acquisition
· performance evaluation
· conflict resolution
· case histories of practical applications.
Look to Concurrent Engineering: Research and Applications for authoritative in-depth reports in each issue, on the most timely and significant trends, issues, problems and applications of CE in modern manufacturing.
Instructions to Authors
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
Submitting Papers to the CERA Journal:
The journal welcomes original papers on state-of-the-art research in product development arising from parallelism of its life cycle functions, and novel applications and tools in the areas of Concurrent Engineering (CE).
- The journal addresses all basic tracks that enable CE including aspects of information modelling, teaming & sharing, networking & distribution, planning & scheduling, reasoning & negotiation, collaborative decision making, organization and management of CE.
- Emphasis is placed on CE technologies that result in faster product development, higher quality, lower costs, improved productivity and better customer value.
- Major research areas include: CE process characterization and matrices, enterprise modelling, multi-enterprise integration, information sharing and collaboration, networked collocation, tools for multi-media conferences, distributed environments, corporate technical memories, capturing design intent, CE languages and tools, intelligent retrieval, virtual teams, architectures, emerging standards and practices.
Manuscript Submission:
1. Electronic submission of the manuscript (including figures and Tables) as a PDF or MS Word file attached to an email message sent to prasadb1@cox.net is the desired format for submission of papers. Otherwise, three double-spaced hard copies and one electronic version (on a 3.5 in. disk or CD using Microsoft Word in an IBM/PC format) should be submitted to:
Brian Prasad,
The Institute of Concurrent Engineering,
CERA Journal Department,
P.O. Box 3882,
Tustin,
CA 92782, USA.
Revised manuscripts should be resubmitted in final print and MS/Word electronic versions. GENERAL Research briefs and books for reviews can be submitted to any Associate Editors.
2. Centred title should be brief, followed by centred name, affiliation, address, country, and postal code (zip) of author(s). Indicate to whom correspondence and proofs should be sent, including a telephone number, fax number and e-mail address.
3. Include a 300-word abstract.
4. Include a list of key words, brief biographies and passport size photographs of all authors in common electronic formats
5. A list of four-five potential reviewers (who are subject matter experts in CE or papers' contents) should be submitted to the Editor at the time of manuscript submission [recommended].
6. ILLUSTRATIONS
- Computer generated graphics. Any illustrations should be in tif or eps format. All graphics should have a minimum resolution of 300 dots per inch (118 dots per cm), for superior reproduction. Colour originals can be published if warranted at the author's expense.
- Line Drawings. Originals should always be submitted. Wherever possible, graphs should be boxed in, and scale divisions should be marked on the inside of the boxes. Grids should not be shown. Insofar as possible, explanations should be placed in the legend. Original drawings should not be larger than 20x25 cm (8x10 in); if this is impossible, they must be accompanied by two sets of small photoprints. Measurements should be indicated in SI units.
- Lettering should be planned for 50% reduction; text must be readable after reduction.
- Photographs. Photographs should be supplied as glossy prints, and wherever possible, of the same size as they are to appear in the journal. Illustrations should be referred to as Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. The name(s) of the author(s) should be written on all illustrations, as should the Figure number. The indication ''Top'' must be given, if necessary. Besides the original illustrations, one duplicate set must accompany each copy of the manuscript; these copies may be photoprints, if clear and legible.
- Text must be readable after reduction.
7. JOURNAL AND BOOK REFERENCES should be identified in the text using the Vancouver system [numbered notes throughout text, numbered list at end of article].
Literature references should be listed by number at the end of manuscript as reference number, Author(s), date, ''title of article,'' title of publication, volume, page, publisher, place of publication, etc. Examples:
- Name 1, A.A. and Name 2, B.B. (year of publication). A Method of Damage Detection for Rotating Systems, Journal Name, 107(3): 275-281.
- Name, C.C. (year of publication). Title of Chapter, Book Name, Edition (if not first), page, publisher, place etc.
8. FIGURE, TABLE, EQUATION: spelled out in text, capitalized. Figure 1 Table 1 Equation (9)
9. TABLES. Number consecutively and type on a numbered, separate page.
Please use arabic numerals and supply a heading. Column headings should be explanatory and carry units. Do not include vertical rules.
10. UNITS & ABBREVIATIONS. SI units should be used.
11. SYMBOLS. A list of symbols used and their meanings should be included if a
large number of symbols appears in the text.
12. PROOFREADING AND E-PRINTS. Authors will receive page proofs, which
they should correct and return as soon as possible. An e-print order form for purchase of additional e-prints will be provided. No free e-prints can be provided; the correspondence author will receive one free copy of the journal for each contributor.
13. COPYRIGHT INFORMATION. All original journal articles are copyrighted in the name of the publisher. All original articles accepted for publication must be accompanied by a signed copyright transfer agreement available from the journal editor (http:/www.ceraj.com/) or from the publisher's website (http:/www.sagepub.com/).
Previously copyrighted material may be published with the written permission of the copyright holder.
14. HEADINGS. Your article should be structured into sections. Normally two headings are used as follows:
Main Subhead: 3. Syntax of Dimensions and Tolerances [all bold and centred, capitalize first letter of main words]
Secondary Subhead: 6.1 Tolerance Analysis [bold, capitalize first letter of main words, left justified]
15. EQUATIONS. Number equations with arabic numbers enclosed in parentheses at the right-hand margin. Type superscripts and subscripts clearly above or below the baseline, or mark them with a caret. Be sure that all symbols, letters, and numbers are distinguishable (e.g., 0 for zero, one or lowercase ''el'', ''vee'' or Greek nu).
