An additional team of technical editors who will be responsible for specific thematic areas will also edit each volume of the series.

Series Objectives & Mission:
This book series aims to capture advances in computers and information in engineering research, especially by researchers and members of ASME's Computers & Information in Engineering (CIE) Division. The books will be published in both traditional and e-book forms.

Audience:
The intended audience is primarily the academic, governmental and industrial mechanical engineering and computational science communities interested in recent research advances as they relate to computational and information technologies associated with engineering design along with product and process development.

Thematic Content:
The series will focus on advances in computational methods, algorithms, tools, and processes on the cutting edge of research and development as they have been reported during the last five annual CIE conferences. The series will provide a resource for enhancing engineering practice by enabling the understanding and the application of evolving and emerging technologies that impact critical engineering issues related to the topics and themes under CIE’s technical committees areas of interest:

Advanced Modeling and Simulation: Discretization Methods (Finite Element Analysis, Mesh-Free Methods etc.) ▪ Inverse Methods ▪ Model Identification ▪ Symbolic Computing ▪ High Performance Computing ▪ Methods for Computational Metrology ▪ Computational Multiphysics

Computer-Aided Product and Process Development: CAD & Geometric Modeling ▪ Computer-Aided Manufacturing ▪ Collaborative and Concurrent Engineering ▪ Emotional Engineering ▪ Computer Aided Industrial Design ▪ Design Automation

Systems Engineering, Information and Knowledge Management: Information Modeling and Exchange ▪ Product Lifecycle Management ▪ Knowledge-capture and reuse ▪ Business Process Design, Integration, Deployment and Management ▪ Systems Engineering

Virtual Environments and Systems:Augmented & Mixed Reality Systems ▪ Collaborative & Networked Virtual Environments ▪ VR in Product Conceptualization & Design ▪ Virtual Process Planning ▪ Virtual Assembly & Maintenance ▪ Haptic & Multi-touch Interaction
