Special Issue on: "Advances in Measurement Science and Technology"

Guest Editor:
Prof. J. Paulo Davim, University of Aveiro, Portugal

Presently, it is possible to define measurement (the act of measuring) as “the assignment of a number to a characteristic of an object or event, which can be compared with other objects or events”. Measurement depends on the context and discipline but it is very important to the modern industry. Therefore, the development of new measurement techniques and associated instrumentation is also very important. This special issue will focus on the multidisciplinary areas of measurement science and technology and we invite the submission of high-quality research articles related to theory, practice and application.

Subject Coverage
Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Precision measurements
• Signal processing
• Industrial metrology
• Metrics
• Calibrations
• Imaging and spectroscopy
• Reliability
• Sensors and actuators
• Novel instrumentation systems
• Uncertainly and standardisation
• Surface metrology
• Automation and robotics
• Biomedical applications
• Experimental techniques
• Manufacturing processes
• Materials testing
• Modelling and simulation
• Nanotechnology
• Tribology

Notes for Prospective Authors

Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. (N.B. Conference papers may only be submitted if the paper has been completely re-written and if appropriate written permissions have been obtained from any copyright holders of the original paper).

All papers are refereed through a peer review process.

All papers must be submitted online. To submit a paper, please read our Submitting articles page.
