Special issue on “intelligent computing and communication in concurrent engineering”

Abstract

In a generation of the rapid evolution of technological enhancements, intelligent computing helps to produce solutions for every elementary problem with the help of computing technology. It is the process of developing the algorithm for a program to provide a solution for any task. It helps to break down any task into specific functions to get better solutions. Computing intelligence must be able to transform the data obtained into a function that produces a beneficial solution. Global Positioning Systems (GPS), mobile phones, Email, the internet, and the development of various mobile apps are some examples of constant improvement in computing. Computing has made regular work simple and has proved to be suitable and user-friendly without any adverse effects. Intelligent Computing has proved to be an area of constant research leading to the discovery of efficient ideas and implementation. Computing when coupled with intelligent communication systems helps in the effective transfer of information in a network that aids to generate and implement new services efficiently and economically. Enhanced next-generation algorithms for communication systems can be utilized to make accomplishments easy. It provides a comprehensive vision that opens up numerous industrial, management, and research opportunities. The exceptions to convey, categorize and utilize the data created and transmitted by connected objects are enormous. Concurrent engineering is a process that can use intelligent computing in the design and development of various engineering products and services. Concurrent Engineering is acknowledged to an extent of 52% in well-established companies, 45% in mid-sized companies, and 39% in small companies. Intelligent Computing and Communication in Concurrent Engineering helps to reduce the time taken to complete a task also reduces the time taken for product development. It helps to increase productivity, faster design process and also decreases the cost of production. It encourages multidisciplinary collaboration amongst concurrent teams. However, there are some challenges faced in concurrent design that includes skill development, insufficient knowledge, and support from management, early design reviews, efficient communication between team members, software compatibility, and lack of IT tools. New Intelligent Computing and Communication in Concurrent Engineering strategies can be analyzed and developed to overcome drawbacks. This special issue aims to collect high quality research works related to intelligent computing and communication associated with concurrent engineering. We request original works that have not been published nor under consideration in other publication venues. Topics of interest for this special issue include;
