Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “Computational Methods in Engineering”, invites high-quality original contributions focusing on the development and application of computational techniques in science and engineering. The issue is organized in connection with the XLVI Ibero-Latin American Congress on Computational Methods in Engineering (CILAMCE 2025), which will occur in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil, in November 2025.
CILAMCE is a long-standing international conference, officially promoted since 2007 by the Brazilian Association for Computational Methods in Engineering (ABMEC). It is recognized as the most traditional event in Latin America, bringing together leading researchers and professionals worldwide to discuss recent advances in computational modeling, simulation, and numerical methods applied across various engineering domains.
The authors of papers presented at CILAMCE 2025 are especially encouraged to submit extended versions of their work. However, the Special Issue is open to all researchers worldwide, and all submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process. Contributions should present significant scientific or technological advances, with clear relevance to engineering applications.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) aerospace, nuclear applications, artificial intelligence, advanced materials, industrial applications, infrastructure, renewable energy, communications, disaster monitoring and prevention, sanitation, water security, structural analysis, and structural optimum design.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Infrastructures is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
