The journal aims at an audience of researchers, educators and practitioners of industrial engineering and associated fields. It publishes original contributions to the development of new computerized methodologies for solving industrial engineering problems, and applications of these methodologies to problems of interest to the broad industrial engineering and associated communities. It encourages submissions that expand the frontiers of the fundamental theories and concepts underlying industrial engineering techniques. It also serves as a venue for articles evaluating the state of the art of computer applications in various industrial engineering and related topics, and research in the utilization of computers in industrial engineering education. Papers reporting on applications of industrial engineering techniques to real life problems are welcome, as long as they satisfy the criteria of originality in the choice of the problem and the tools utilized to solve it, generality of the approach for applicability to other problems, and significance of the results produced. A major aim of the journal is to foster international exchange of ideas and experiences among scholars and practitioners with shared interests all over the world.

Beihang University is one of the famous universities in China and ranks NO.1 in the area of aeronautics and astronautics, representing sophisticated technology. Furthermore, its researches on Computer& Industrial Engineering are in a significant position in the academy field. In the spheres of talents cultivating, Beihangers are in a variety of working fields and take important roles. For example, the successful launch of Shenzhou V is the proud of every Chinese and a milestone in aeronautical history. The government pays great attention to the development of Beihang University and has always provided a big amount of education fund, the newly completed Beihang Main Building, (about 0.15 billion US$, shown on the background of the call for papers)which are composites of teaching and researching, has greatly improved the academic conditions.
