MIMEC2013 invites submission of papers on relevant topics within Materials Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Manufacturing Engineering. Abstract only submission is also welcome.

All abstracts and papers will be reviewed by the scientific program committee and invited reviewers. All accepted full papers will be published in Advanced Materials Research which is indexed in major academic databases, including Scopus, Ei Compendex, and ISI/Web of Science’s CPCI. After the conference, selected abstracts and papers (significantly extended version) will be recommended for publication in international journals (see the list in “Affiliated Journals“)
