Advanced
computing applications are changing the way engineers interact with computers.
Explicit knowledge representation formalisms and new reasoning techniques are
no longer the sole territory of artificial intelligence. For
knowledge-intensive tasks in engineering, a new philosophy called Engineering
Informatics is emerging.
Advanced Engineering Informatics is an international journal containing
original papers that: Report progress in the engineering discipline of applying
computer science; Have engineering relevance and help provide the scientific
base to make engineering decision-making more reliable, spontaneous and
creative; Contain novel research that demonstrates the science supporting
knowledge-intensive engineering tasks; Validate the generality, power and
scalability of new methods through vigorous evaluation, preferably both
qualitatively and quantitatively.
