Journal Guide

The Editors welcome contributions from research, which consider sustainable management and conservation of resources. The journal emphasizes the transformation processes involved in a transition toward more sustainable production and consumption systems. Emphasis is upon technological, economic, institutional and policy aspects of specific resource management practices, such as conservation, recycling and resource substitution, and of "systems-wide" strategies, such as resource productivity improvement, the restructuring of production and consumption profiles and the transformation of industry.Contributions may have relevance at regional, national or international scales and may focus at any level of research from individual resources or technologies to whole sectors or systems of interest. Contributors may emphasise any of the aforementioned aspects as well as scientific and methodological issues. However, manuscripts that consider only laboratory experiments, without a discussion of the practical, environmental and economic implications of the presented research, are excluded from publication in the journal.The journal publishes papers, reviews, analyses and case studies on topics, which include:• Transformation of the industrial and societal system towards more sustainable production and consumption patterns, including management, instruments, methods and processes of change.• Information and management systems involving resource status, use and material flows in society.• Innovation processes, tools and methods relating to resource productivity improvement.• Technical, societal, economic, business and policy aspects of strategies to improve the sustainability and productivity of resource use, including strategies for managing resource supply and demand, valorizing waste, lowering energy and material intensities and increasing the serviceability of products.• Substitution of primary resources by renewable or regenerative alternatives, including agricultural and forest resources and wastes.• Material flow analysis and the understanding of resource use and flows in society and the impact on the environment, including resource extraction and waste generation.• Life cycle assessment and management of resources, materials and products to improve resource efficiency and productivity, conserve resources and reduce pollution.• Societal, economic and technological change for improved recovery and reuse of materials and energy from domestic, commercial or industrial waste streams.• Efficient management and use of all resources, including air and water, with regard to the qualitative as well as quantitative aspects of resource use.

The Revista Iberoamericana de Automática e Informática Industrial (RIAI) (Ibero-American Journal of Industrial Automation and Informatics) is the official Journal of the Comité Español de Automática (CEA) (Spanish Automation Committee), a member of the Federación Internacional de Control Automático (IFAC) (International Confederation of Automation Control). The Journal is directed towards the Ibero-American community, and in general, for environments in which Spanish is the basic language, and not exclusive, of communication. RIAI covers the wide field of Control Theory, Systems Engineering, Robotics, Automation Regulation, and the different technologies used in making these control systems, in particular those based on computers and communication networks. It publishes four issues per year, which include scientific-technical articles, communications and short articles, special articles, and opinion articles, of interest to research professionals, R&D Departments, and university community in the scientific-technical field of Industrial Automation and Informatics.

Desde 1985 laRevista Internacional de M todos Num ricos para C lculo y Dise o en Ingenier acontribuye a la difusi n en lengua castellana y portuguesa de los desarrollos te ricos y aplicaciones pr cticas de los m todos num ricos. tanto en relaci n con su utilidad como instrumentos de c lculo y an lisis para el ingeniero y el cient fico. como en aspectos que inciden en las nuevas tecnolog as de dise o y proyecto de producci n y procesos en ingenier a. La revista abarca reas diversas. tales como: modelos matem ticos y num ricos de problemas de ingenier a. desarrollo y aplicaciones de los m todos num ricos. nuevos avances en temas de software. innovaciones en el campo del dise o por computador. aspectos did cticos de los m todos num ricos. etc. La revista constituye una fuente de informaci n imprescindible para ingenieros y cient ficos sobre innumerables temas relacionados con los m todos num ricos y sus aplicaciones. contribuyendo a promover la transferencia de conocimiento interdisciplinar y. por consiguiente. a acortar la distancia que existe entre los desarrollos te ricos y las aplicaciones concretas.
