Scope

Aims, scope and focus

APPLIED COMPUTATIONAL ELECTROMAGNETICS SOCIETY JOURNAL is published by Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES) and is in Zone 4 of Computer Science in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Antenna Design and Analysis, Microwave Engineering and Waveguides and Advanced Antenna and Metasurface Technologies, together about 47.7% of its articles. Its main subfields are Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Aerospace Engineering. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)

The ACES Journal is devoted to the exchange of information in computational electromagnetics, to the advancement of the state of the art, and to the promotion of related technical activities. A primary objective of the information exchange is the elimination of the need to "re-invent the wheel" to solve a previously solved computational problem in electrical engineering, physics, or related fields of study. The ACES Journal welcomes original, previously unpublished papers, relating to applied computational electromagnetics. All papers are refereed. A unique feature of ACES Journal is the publication of unsuccessful efforts in applied computational electromagnetics. Publication of such material provides a means to discuss problem areas in electromagnetic modeling. Manuscripts representing an unsuccessful application or negative result in computational electromagnetics is considered for publication only if a reasonable expectation of success (and a reasonable effort) are reflected. The technical activities promoted by this publication include code validation, performance analysis, and input/output standardization; code or technique optimization and error minimization; innovations in solution technique or in data input/output; identification of new applications for electromagnetics modeling codes and techniques; integration of computational electromagnetics techniques with new computer architectures; and correlation of computational parameters with physical mechanisms.
