npj Computational Materials publishes high-quality research papers that apply computational approaches for the design of new materials, and for enhancing our understanding of existing ones. New computational techniques – and the refinement of current approaches – that facilitate these aims are also welcome, as are experimental papers that complement computational findings. Representative journal scope includes: application and development of existing and emerging theoretical and simulation approaches for the study of materials in their entirety (organic and inorganic). structure and property prediction of new materials, such as by the ‘materials by design’ paradigm. significant new understanding of materials fundamentals, behavior and properties. integrative/complementary experimental works that serve to validate, support and extend computational findings. high-throughput techniques – both computational and experimental – for large data set generation, and materials data mining.

As a result of recent advances in MEMS/NEMS and systems biology, as well as the emergence of synthetic bacteria and lab/process-on-a-chip techniques, it is now possible to design chemical “circuits”, custom organisms, micro/nanoscale swarms of devices, and a host of other new systems. This success opens up a new frontier for interdisciplinary communications techniques using chemistry, biology, and other principles that have not been considered in the communications literature. The IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications (T-MBMSC) is devoted to the principles, design, and analysis of communication systems that use physics beyond classical electromagnetism. This includes molecular, quantum, and other physical, chemical and biological techniques; as well as new communication techniques at small scales or across multiple scales (e.g., nano to micro to macro; note that strictly nanoscale systems, 1-100 nm, are outside the scope of this journal). Original research articles on one or more of the following topics are within scope: mathematical modeling, information/communication and network theoretic analysis, standardization and industrial applications, and analytical or experimental studies on communication processes or networks in biology. Contributions on related topics may also be considered for publication. Contributions from researchers outside the IEEE’s typical audience are encouraged.

Stochastics and Partial Differential Equations: Analysis and Computations publishes the highest quality articles presenting significantly new and important developments in the SPDE theory and applications. SPDE is an active interdisciplinary area at the crossroads of stochastic anaylsis, partial differential equations and scientific computing. Statistical physics, fluid dynamics, financial modeling, nonlinear filtering, super-processes, continuum physics and, recently, uncertainty quantification are important contributors to and major users of the theory and practice of SPDEs. The journal is promoting synergetic activities between the SPDE theory, applications, and related large scale computations. The journal also welcomes high quality articles in fields strongly connected to SPDE such as stochastic differential equations in infinite-dimensional state spaces or probabilistic approaches to solving deterministic PDEs.

Archives of Control Sciences welcomes for consideration papers on topics of significance in broadly understood control science and related areas, including: basic control theory, optimal control, optimization methods, control of complex systems, mathematical modeling of dynamic and control systems, expert and decision support systems and diverse methods of knowledge modelling and representing uncertainty (by stochastic, set-valued, fuzzy or rough set methods, etc.), robotics and flexible manufacturing systems. Related areas that are covered include information technology, parallel and distributed computations, neural networks and mathematical biomedicine, mathematical economics, applied game theory, financial engineering, business informatics and other similar fields.
