This book series aims to capture advances in computers and

I
information in engineering research, especially by researchers n
f
o
and members of ASME’s Computers & Information in Engineer-
r
m
ing (CIE) Division. The books will be published in both traditional
a
and eBook formats.
ti

n
The series is focusing on advances in computational methods,

i
n
algorithms, tools, and processes on the cutting edge of research

E
and development as they have evolved and/or have been n
g
reported during the last three to five annual CIE conferences. The
i
n
series will provide a resource for enhancing engineering practice
e
e
by enabling the understanding and the application of evolving and
r
i
emerging technologies that impact critical engineering issues re- n
g
lated to the topics and themes under CIE’s technical committees

R Advances in Computers and Information
areas of interest, but not limited to: Advanced Modeling and e
s
Simulation; Computer-Aided Product and Process Development; e
a in Engineering Research
Systems Engineering, Information and Knowledge Management;
r
c
Virtual Environments and Systems. h

Foreword for the Series
TheinitialideaforthisserieswasconceivedasanadditionalactivityoftheASMEs’ Computers&
InformationinEngineering(CIE)Divisiontopromotetheinterestsofthedivisionandincreaseits
outreach. MembersoftheexecutivecommitteeoftheCIEDivisiondiscussedthepreparationof
thisbookseriesfouryearsagobeforethe30thCIEconferenceheldin2010inMontreal,Quebec
Canada. Thedecisionwasmadetomoveforwardbeforethesubsequent31stCIEconferenceheldin

Inparticular,thisbookseriesaimstocaptureadvancesincomputersandinformationinengineering
research,especiallybyresearchersandmembersoftheCIEDivision.
The intended audience is primarily the academic, governmental and industrial mechanical en-
gineeringandcomputationalsciencecommunitiesinterestedinrecentresearchadvancesasthey
relatetocomputationalandinformationtechnologiesassociatedwithengineeringdesign,alongwith
product and process development. The series will focus on advances in computational methods,
algorithms,tools,andprocessesonthecuttingedgeofresearchanddevelopmentastheyhavebeen
reportedduringthelastfiveannualCIEconferences. Theserieswillprovidearesourceforenhancing
