Embedded Selforganising SystemsIn-situ Microinjection Technology for Smart MaterialsProf. Dr. Wolfram HardtCall for SubmissionThis editorial introduces the third volume of the Em-bedded Selforganising Systems (ESS) journal. The focusis on smart materials and its integrated an efficient pro-duction processes. Smart features build in materials aresubject of difficult technological integration of differentmaterials as polymers or metals and active components.This raises problems in the production processes dueto contradicting physical and chemical characteristicsof such materials. In addition active components withalso specific characteristics must be integrated and in-terfaces must be added to provide power supply and tocatch up data. Data items are probably restricted tovery small sizes, e.g. single bits or analog signals. Eval-uation or interpretation of such data items require newcalculation methods, e.g. based on statistics of fuzzymethods.This shows clearly that the integration of active com-ponents into smart materials are a highly challengingtask. Different approaches can be thought of and resultsillustrated by case studies are actual very rare. So weencourage researchers and scientists for active discus-sion and contribution to the subjected of production ofsmart materials.Prof. Dr. Wolfram, HardtTechnische Universita¨t ChemnitzChair of Computer Engineering, Depart. of Computer ScienceE-mail: hardt@cs.tu-chemnitz.deFor this journal, we also choose a modern kind ofelectronic publication, which provides a flexible way todiscuss latest research results. The advantages of suchan e-journal are multifarious. In comparison to tradi-tional paper journals we replace the classic review andcreation process with a new Sliding Issue model.Each issue starts with an initial editorial and an officialcall for papers. The submitted articles will be reviewedand, if accepted, published as soon as the final version isreceived by the committee. Based on this process, eachsliding issue can be filled successive until the maximumnumber of article is reached. During this period, all ac-cepted papers can already be read by other researcherswhile other papers are still in the reviewing process. Ac-cordingly, the time to publish shrinks to an minimum.In Addition, multiple issues with different focus can co-exist at the same time, which provides completely newpossibilities to react on latest research topics.The journal allows also the integration of discussionsand other reactions on published articles in the samejournal issue.
