Review of “Integrated Computer-Aided Process Engineering Session in the 17th International Symposium on Novel and Nano Materials (ISNNM, 14–18 November 2022)”

“The 17th International Symposium on Novel and Nano Materials (ISNNM)” was held in Jeju, Korea from 14th to 18th November, 2022, and the proceedings for the session of “Integrated Computer-Aided Process Engineering (ICAPE)” were published in Feb, 2023, as a special issue of Materials Transactions (Vol. 64, No. 9). Following the first special issue, which covered the content of the ICAPE session at the International Symposium on Innovation in Materials Processing (ISIMP), this second special issue also presents various topics, including computational materials science, data-driven optimization, as well as experimental validation of optimized process. This article offers a concise overview of several key topics presented at the second special issue, including: macro-scale numerical analysis through finite element methods (FEM), and microstructure simulations using phase-field modelling (PFM), as well as various optimization methods such as machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and design of experiments (DoE).
