The international Journal of Deliberative Mechanisms in Science: new Opportunities and Challenges for the new Millennium

Inaugural Editorial for DEMESCI 1 (1) 201

Inaugural editorial

It is our privilege to start the first issue of our new Journal “Smart Materials in Manufacturing” (SMMF). Owing to their ability to transform and react over time due to a controlled response to an external stimulus, smart materials are becoming mainstream in several fields of research for advanced applications in biomedicine, robotics, transportation, and defense. SMMF aims to explore how smart materials can be successfully manufactured into actuating structures capable of real-word functionality. New submissions are welcome that investigate and discuss existing and emerging methods for processing novel smart materials and systems, for characterising such constructs, and for assessing their morphing ability

Astronomy and Computing: a New Journal for the Astronomical Computing Community

We introduce \emph{Astronomy and Computing}, a new journal for the growing population of people working in the domain where astronomy overlaps with computer science and information technology. The journal aims to provide a new communication channel within that community, which is not well served by current journals, and to help secure recognition of its true importance within modern astronomy. In this inaugural editorial, we describe the rationale for creating the journal, outline its scope and ambitions, and seek input from the community in defining in detail how the journal should work towards its high-level goals.Comment: 5 pages, no figures; editorial for first edition of journa
