Call for Papers Concurrent Engineering: Research and Applications (CERA) -- An International Journal Special Issue on Integrated Design and Smart Manufacturing Guest Editors: Benoît Eynard and Magali Bosch-Mauchand Over the past 20 years, the growing and intensive development of information technology in manufacturing industry has led to a significant change of methods and tools supporting the factories of future. Integrated Design and Smart Manufacturing approaches transform traditional factories interest from cost operations into added values operations in which progressive business processes will strategically invest in so as to increase their competitiveness. Integrated Design allows merging expertise and skills of project team members and also all product data enabled by intensive use of information technology backbone such as CAx, CSCW, PLM, VR, etc. Smart Manufacturing permits to reconsider the organisation and management of production systems based on agile and intelligent operations, rapid prototyping and advanced machining, green production and extended enterprise technologies. Facing all these industrial challenges, academics have to specify and develop new methods and tools supporting the production systems changing by improving knowledge management and added value increasing in product and process development. The special issue on Integrated Design and Smart Manufacturing solicits papers focusing on topics that include but are not limited to: - Innovative and concurrent design - Robust and numerical engineering - CAD/CAE and PDM/PLM/SLM - CAM/CAPP and MPM/MES/ERP - Rapid prototyping and advanced machining - Agile and flexible manufacturing - Intelligent process and green production - Extended and virtual enterprise Important deadlines for submission - Full papers due for review: October 15, 2014 - Notification of acceptance to authors: January 15, 2015 - Revised manuscript submission: March 15, 2015 - Final decision: April 15, 2015 - Final manuscripts: May 15, 2015 Papers will be reviewed by a committee in order to select papers for publication in the special issue.
