Journal Guide

The ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems (TODAES) publishes recent significant results of research and development efforts in the area of design automation of electronic systems. The TODAES editorial board invites submission of technical papers describing recent results of research and development efforts in the area of design automation of electronic systems. The journal intends to provide a comprehensive coverage of innovative works concerning the specification, design, analysis, simulation, testing, and evaluation of very large scale integrated electronic systems, emphasizing a computer science/engineering orientation.

The aim of the journal is to disseminate research and provoke discussion in the area of Virtual Reality. The multidisciplinary nature of the field means that submissions will be welcomed on a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, the following: Virtual Reality Technology and Software Systems Design of VR systems and VEs Human Factors Virtual Reality Applications Assessment of Virtual Reality Systems Philosophical and Ethical Issues Advances Relevant to Virtual Reality The journal also welcomes research contributions on specific application areas including, but not limited to, the following: Business and Commerce Defence and Military Education and Training Entertainment and Gaming Fashion, Heritage Medicine Telecommunications Visualisation Since readers may be unfamiliar with the technical detail of the specific topic being discussed, emphasis will be placed on clear, well-written, and accessible articles which will appeal to a multidisciplinary audience. The journal's audience includes

Virtual and Physical Prototyping is moving to online only in 2011. We welcome authors to submit supplementary data sets, colour images, animation and videos to publish with your articles to enhance the content experience of the journal. Virtual and Physical Prototyping provides an international forum for professionals and academics to exchange novel ideas and disseminate knowledge covering the full range of activities related to the multi-disciplinary area of virtual and rapid prototyping.

The Visual Computer is dedicated to reporting on the state-of-the-art of research in the field of graphics, vision, imaging, and virtual reality. It features practical results, applications, and contributions that describe advances in such areas as: - Geometric modeling - Computer vision - Visualization - Computer animation - Dynamic modeling - Motion capture and synthesis - Virtual reality - Rendering models - Texturing - Image-based rendering - Non-photorealistic rendering. In addition to the technical contributions, a regular column called The Webcorner carries and reviews internet web sites relevant to the topics of the journal and the computer graphics research community. It also includes a calendar of events that provides information on forthcoming meetings and symposia.

The aim of International Journal of Visualization in Engineering, a fully open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen, is to disseminate original and high quality research results on the visualization paradigms, models, technologies, and applications that have significant contributions to the advancement of all aspects of design and engineering. The proposed journal is devoted to scholarly research on improving all aspects of design and engineering (including civil, mechanical, manufacturing, industrial, aerospace, etc.) through the applications of visualization technologies. The journal is particularly interested in research that adds to the scientific understanding of the impacts that visualization technologies can have on the stages along the entire life cycle of a particular industry, for example, planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operations of constructed facilities.
The proposed journal provides, for the first time, an international and interdisciplinary platform and forum for researchers to present their findings, latest developments, and perspectives on future trends in visualization in design and engineering, covering relevant advances in the areas of computing, management, human factors, education, and social sciences.
