About
Aims & Scope
The aims of the journal, its subject coverage, and the types of article considered for publication.
Aims
Smart Technologies and Computational Research publishes original research on the design, analysis and application of intelligent, connected and computational systems. The journal welcomes theoretical, experimental and applied contributions that advance how computing systems are engineered, deployed and trusted, from embedded devices and networks to large-scale infrastructure. Every manuscript is assessed through double-blind peer review and published open access.
