Editor’s Note

We are delighted and deeply honored to assume the role of coeditors in chief for ASCE’s esteemed Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering (JCCE). JCCE is one of the world’s leading journals in our field, with an editorial board that includes numerous highly acclaimed scholars. We thank ASCE and its Computing Division for entrusting us with this significant responsibility. We also express our appreciation to Professor Ray Issa, the outgoing journal editor, for his outstanding leadership over the past eight years. Additionally, we are humbled to follow in the footsteps of the remarkable leaders who have contributed to the Journal’s excellence, including previous editors Mark Abkowitz, William Rasdorf, James Garrett, and Lucio Soibelman. We eagerly look forward to collaborating with readers, authors, reviewers, and the editorial board to continue on the path of excellence and growth.

The field of computing in civil engineering is diverse and continually evolving. With the rapid advancement of data science and artificial intelligence, we are witnessing an unparalleled expansion of the Journal’s leadership, body of knowledge, and impact. We perceive an opportunity to enhance its success and influence by extending its reach into emerging computing domains and broader civil engineering communities. The Journal’s scope encompasses vital emerging areas of computing, such as big data analytics, artificial intelligence, building information modeling, sensors and sensing systems, automation, robotics, and their applications across various civil engineering subdomains, including structures, materials, water resources, geotechnical engineering, construction, transportation, and infrastructure systems.

Our vision for the Journal revolves around four core pillars:

We are confident that, together, with the support of our esteemed editorial board, authors, reviewers, and readers, we will realize our vision and further cement the Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering as the world’s preeminent scholarly publication in our field. We are firmly committed to enhancing the Journal’s quality, reputation, and visibility.
