Hung Asia Pacific Journal on Computational Engineering 2014, 1:1 http://www.apjcen.com/content/1/1/1 EDITORIAL Open Access Editorial: Asia Pacific Journal on Computational Engineering 1,2 Nguyen Dang Hung Editorial Correspondence: h.nguyendang@ulg.ac.be During my long career of 40 years as a researcher and professor at the University of University of Liège, Liège, Belgium Vietnamese-German University, Liège, Belgium, I have always been interested in running a scientific journal in my field. Binh Duong New City, Binh Duong But due to lack of time, I had put on hold this hot desire. Indeed, during the last Province, Vietnam 20 years in activity, I pursued the dual functions of permanent full professor in Belgium and founder professor coordinator of the two centers of international inter- university Master's degree training in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, Vietnam. It is only during my retirement where I returned to Vietnam, that I have the time to start working on this idea, initially receiving effective encouragement by the leaders of Ton Duc Thang university. It was during the period when I was senior advisor of this university that the founding agreement with Springer was signed, and APJCEN could appear as you see today. When the Asia Pacific Journal on Computational Engineering (APJCEN) was opened for submissions in 2013, I was aware of the difficulties caused by the current competi- tion in this sector of scientific information, especially with the open-access format that is not yet very attractive to researchers in the world. Nevertheless, encouraged by the support of more than 50 leading scientists from around the world and especially the partnership agreement of the famous publisher Springer, the advent of APJCEN has fi- nally emerged as you see today. APJCEN has set out as an international multidisciplinary peer-reviewed publication de- voted to disseminating research in and development of theoretical and applied mechanics. APJCEN constitutes a forum for researchers to present their original work and scholarly re- views of solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, material modeling, multi- physics, and thermodynamics with significant computational components. The journal will adopt a multidisciplinary approach to link physical, experimental, and mechanics as applied to the development of and practice in computational engineering. The journal is committed to providing comprehensive and innovative techniques in computational engineering. The regional denomination means only that the secretariat team is located in Asia, but you may recognize that the list of editorial board consists of renowned scientists from around the world! In fact, this dissemination of computational methods and their applications should im- pact research and education at universities, as well as developments in research institu- tions and industries throughout the Asia Pacific Region, mostly in ASEAN countries, and particularly in Vietnam. We hope that the journal will attract young researchers to © 2014 Dang Hung; licensee Springer.
