Research in Engineering Design - Theory, Applications, and Concurrent Engineering is an international journal that publishes research papers on design theories and methods across all engineering disciplines, with a particular focus on mechanical, civil, architectural, and manufacturing engineering. The journal is designed for academics, industry professionals, and government experts interested in research issues related to design practice. Papers emphasize fundamental principles of engineering design and discipline-oriented research, with results that are of general interest and applicable to other engineering fields. Areas of general interest include design theory, foundations of design environments, representation and language, models of the design process, and integration of design and manufacturing. Representative topics include functional representation, feature-based design, shape grammar, process design, redesign, product database models, and empirical research. The journal also publishes cutting-edge review articles.
