About this journal
This journal fosters transdisciplinary research that crosses the boundaries of information science, systems engineering and engineering design, manufacturing, data science, and product life cycle with a focus on how to make manufacturing systems smarter and sustainable.
The journal specifically invites papers that will address advanced manufacturing; energy and materials for manufacturing; product, process, and asset (machine tools, machinery) digitization for integrated production optimization; measurement science; and standards, protocols, and tools needed to design, analyze, and control smart manufacturing systems based on a cyber-physical infrastructure for manufacturing.
If you would like to propose a special issue for SSMS, please follow the instructions in the special issue guidelines that can be found online here.
