Journal Guide

The International Journal of Modeling, Simulation, and Scientific Computing (IJMSSC) is a quarterly journal which provides an international forum for researchers, scholars, and engineers in the fields of system modeling, simulation and scientific computing to publish high-quality and refereed papers, and disseminate the latest theoretical results and their practical applications.

Most research and experiments in the fields of science, engineering and social studies have spent significant efforts to find rules from various complicated phenomena by observations, recorded data, logic derivations and so on. The rules are normally summarised as concise and quantitative expressions or "models". "Identification" provides mechanisms to establish the models and "control" provides mechanisms to improve the system's (represented by its model) performance. IJMIC has been set up to reflect the relevant generic studies in this area.

The scope of this journal covers Computational Physics, Physical Computation and related subjects. IJMPC aims at publishing both review and research articles on the use of computers to advance knowledge in physical sciences and the use of physical analogies in computation. Topics covered include: algorithms; astrophysics; atomic, molecular and chemical physics; computational biophysics; computational fluid dynamics; computer and information science; condensed matter physics, materials science; data analysis and computation in experimental physics; electromagnetism; high energy physics; nuclear and plasma physics; environmental physics; physical computation including neural nets, cellular automata and complex systems; quantum chemistry; statistical physics; symbolic manipulation; etc.

Gravitation, astrophysics and cosmology are exciting and rapidly advancing fields of research. This journal aims to accommodate and promote this expansion of information and ideas and it features research papers and reviews on theoretical, observational and experimental findings in these fields. Among the topics covered are general relativity, quantum gravity, gravitational experiments, quantum cosmology, observational cosmology, particle cosmology, large scale structure, high energy astrophysics, compact objects, cosmic particles and radiation.

The International Journal of Numerical Methods for Heat & Fluid Flow provides a platform for the latest research and solutions involving computational numerical techniques and fluid dynamics to problems in heat and fluid flow.

Prediction through modelling forms the basis of engineering design. The computational power at the fingertips of the professional engineer is increasing enormously and techniques for computer simulation are changing rapidly. Engineers need models which relate to their design area and which are adaptable to new design concepts. They also need efficient and friendly ways of presenting, viewing and transmitting the data associated with their models. The International Journal of Numerical Modelling: Electronic Networks, Devices and Fields provides a communication vehicle for numerical modelling methods and data preparation methods associated with electrical and electronic circuits and fields. It concentrates on numerical modelling rather than abstract numerical mathematics. Contributions on numerical modelling will cover the entire subject of electrical and electronic engineering. They will range from electrical distribution networks to integrated circuits on VLSI design, and from static electric and magnetic fields through microwaves to optical design. They will also include the use of electrical networks as a modelling medium. PRINCIPAL TOPICS.

International Journal of Parallel Programming is a forum for the publication of peer-reviewed, high-quality original papers in the computer and information sciences, focusing specifically on programming aspects of parallel computing systems. Such systems are characterized by the coexistence over time of multiple coordinated activities. The journal publishes both original research and survey papers. Fields of interest include: linguistic foundations, conceptual frameworks, high-level languages, evaluation methods, implementation techniques, programming support systems, pragmatic considerations, architectural characteristics, software engineering aspects, advances in parallel algorithms, performance studies, and application studies.

Innovations in smartphones, sensors, wearables, IoTs and the extent to which they will pervade our daily living and the impact this will have on society are all explored in the International Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF QUANTUM CHEMISTRY A journal devoted to theory and computation in molecular chemistry, physics and biology The International Journal of Quantum Chemistry is concerned with the quantum mechanical description of the structure, properties, and dynamics of atoms, molecules, condensed matter, and biomolecular systems. In addition to formal development of theory and related mathematical and numerical applications, the Journal is interested in publishing applications where quantum mechanical concepts interact with molecular and phenomenological modeling. The scope of the Journal includes papers dealing with such diverse topics as formal developments in theory, simulations of dynamical processes, calculation of molecular properties, and phenomenological modeling.

International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR) was the first scholarly publication on robotics research; it continues to supply scientists and students in robot and related fields - artificial intelligence, applied mathematics, computer science, electrical and mechanical engineering - with timely, multidisciplinary material on topics from sensors and sensory interpretations to kinematics in motion planning. IJRR also publishes peer reviewed data papers and multimedia extensions alongside articles.

The International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control aims to encourage the development of analysis and design techniques for uncertain linear and nonlinear systems. Papers will be particularly welcome that demonstrate the potential for nonlinear or robust controllers in applications through either design studies or real applications experience. The physical modelling, simulation and identification of systems that may be uncertain, or include significant nonlinearities, is of interest. Suitable topics include the use of hybrid or LPV models, multivariable systems and the simplification of models for control design. Papers on the control of large scale or distributed parameter systems are welcome, particularly concentrating on robustness and/or nonlinear issues. Papers are also welcome in the area of feedback design for asymptotic model following and, in general, for coordinated control of multi-agent systems, including consensus and synchronization. The main focus of the journal is on the theory and design of regulating and tracking control systems, but related areas such as linear and nonlinear filtering, condition monitoring and fault estimation are included. The Journal provides a natural forum for papers on the theory and application of robust control design and estimation techniques, including H8 or H2 design, multi-objective optimization and variable structure, or sliding mode control design methods. Papers will also be welcome on methods of improving the robustness of uncertain, or parameter varying systems, using QFT design methods. Papers on linear model based predictive control and algorithms for constrained optimization are encouraged. All aspects of the theory and techniques used in nonlinear control and estimation are also included ranging from gain scheduling to nonlinear predictive control. The development of nonlinear compensation and design methods, such as those using feedback linearization, adaptive back-stepping, exploitation and/or re-design of zero dynamics, Lyapunov based techniques, nonlinear H8 design and iterative learning control, are all of interest. Contributions on numerical algorithms for robust control, using for example linear matrix inequalities, and the problems of real time implementation are also included. Cooperative control, agent based systems, controller tuning and problems of implementation are covered. Modelling and control techniques using neural networks will also be considered. Model based design approaches are encouraged rather than heuristic or rule based design methods, such as fuzzy control.
