Journal of Soft Computing in Civil Engineering (SCCE) will award a Best Paper Prize, which serves to celebrate and applaud well written papers that make a significant contribution to the field of soft computing application in civil engineering. The winner will be selected by the Editorial Board’s votes.
A prize of $500 will be awarded to the author(s) of the best paper of first issue of Volume 1.
The idea behind soft computing is to model cognitive behavior of human mind. Soft computing is foundation of conceptual intelligence in machines. Unlike hard computing, Soft computing is tolerant of Imprecision, Uncertainty, Partial Truth, and Approximation. Soft computing aims to surmount NP-complete problems, uses inexact methods to give useful but inexact answers to intractable problems, represents a significant paradigm shift in the aims of computing - a shift which reflects the human mind, tolerant to imprecision, uncertainty, partial truth, and approximation, well suited for real world problems where ideal models are not available. Today, soft computing algorithms are becoming important classes of efficient tools for developing intelligent systems and providing solutions to complicated civil engineering problems.
The focus of this journal is on applications of soft computing methods in civil engineering. Domains of applications include Structural engineering, design, diagnostics, and health monitoring, Hydraulic engineering, Geotechnical engineering, Transportation engineering, Environmental engineering, Coastal and ocean engineering and Construction management. Articles submitted to this journal could also be concerned about the most significant recent developments on the topics of soft computing and its application in civil engineering.
