Journal Guide

Non-profit Journal: MIC is operated as a non-profit journal and the journal is to a large extent based on voluntary contributions from the editors and reviewers. Any income generated by the journal from author contributions and sponsors are only meant to cover the costs associated with running the journal. From 2009 the MIC articles are available for free download on the Internet, and MIC loses the income source from subscriptions. To compensate for this loss of income, MIC currently requires an author contribution of NOK 1000 per published article. Each author will receive a complimentary issue of the printed edition of MIC where the article appears. The publication fee will be adjusted annually to balance out the costs of running the journal.Review: Each submitted article will initially be reviewed by the editor and/or the editorial secretary. If the article passes the initial review, it will be reviewed in a second step by the closest discipline editor and two internationally recognised experts in the field. All reviews in MIC are anonymous and the journal strives to avoid any conflict of interest in the review process.

Modelling and Simulation in Engineering aims at providing a forum for the discussion of formalisms, methodologies and simulation tools that are intended to support the new, broader interpretation of Engineering. Competitive pressures of Global Economy have had a profound effect on the manufacturing in Europe, Japan and the USA with much of the production being outsourced. In this context the traditional interpretation of engineering profession linked to the actual manufacturing needs to be broadened to include the integration of outsourced components and the consideration of logistic, economical and human factors in the design of engineering products and services.Modelling and Simulation in Engineering intends to report leading-edge scientific contributions from mathematics, computer science, various sub-disciplines of engineering, management, psychology and cross-cultural communication, all of which focus on the modelling and simulation of human-centred engineering systems.Subject areas of Modelling and Simulation in Engineering include (but are not limited to):Mathematical formalisms of system modelling AnalyticalStochasticFuzzyGranularSet-membershipSimulation methodologies and tools Continuous simulationDiscrete and combined simulationStochastic simulationsGame and fuzzy game theoryFinite automataSimulation modellingOptimisation, verification and testingAgent-based simulationKnowledge and culture mining/processing Computation with information described in NLOntologies and knowledge modellingModel morphismsNL discourse analysisComplex systems modelling Qualitative modellingMulti-resolution modelling and simulationModelling abstractionsNumerical methods, algorithms and simulationsComputational Intelligence Neural networksFuzzy logicEvolutionary techniquesSoft computing for human interactionAmbient intelligence and ubiquitous computingSymbolic processingSimulation Visualisation Visualisation algorithmsVirtual and augmented realityVirtual prototypingTools and systems for visualisationFrontiers in HCMS Computational and physical limitationsApplications Interoperability of systems and applicationsCase studies and best practicesSocio-technical simulation (logistics, transportation, etc.).

Serving the multidisciplinary materials community, the journal aims to publish new research work that advances the understanding and prediction of material behaviour at scales from atomistic to macroscopic through modelling and simulation.Subject coverageModelling and/or simulation across materials science that emphasizes fundamental materials issues advancing the understanding and prediction of material behaviour. Interdisciplinary research that tackles challenging and complex materials problems where the governing phenomena may span different scales of materials behaviour, with an emphasis on the development of quantitative approaches to explain and predict experimental observations. Material processing that advances the fundamental materials science and engineering underpinning the connection between processing and properties. Covering all classes of materials, and mechanical, microstructural, electronic, chemical, biological, and optical properties.

Founded in 1980 by the Association for the Study of Modern & Contemporary France, Modern & Contemporary France is an international peer-reviewed journal, offering a scholarly view of all aspects of France from 1789 to the present day.It is a multi-disciplinary journal of French studies, drawing particularly, but not exclusively, on the work of scholars in history, literary and cultural studies, film and media studies, and the political and social sciences.While the primary focus of the journal is France, the Editors also welcome submissions with a transnational or comparative dimension, as well as articles addressing aspects of the French Empire or France's relations with the wider world.Modern & Contemporary France publishes:research articlesoccasional articles discussing topical issues from a scholarly perspectivereview articlesan extensive range of book reviews The journal also publishes themed special issues, for which submissions are invited from guest editors.Peer Review Policy:All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.Disclaimer:The Association for the Study of Modern & Contemporary France and Taylor & Francis make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content"contained in its publications.
