The International Journal of Architectural Computing (IJAC) is an exciting peer-reviewed journal founded by international organizations dedicated to promoting collaborative research and development of computer-aided architectural design. IJAC is committed to deepening the understanding of the foundations of digital systems for architectural design and the technologies enabling their development and application.

This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

There are four issues of IJAC per year: published in both electronic and hard copies. Successively, one issue each year is supervised by Editorial Board members from its four founding organizations:
1. eCAADe Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe
2. ACADIA Association of Computer Aided Design in Architecture
3. SIGraDi Sociedad Iberoamericana de Grafica Digital
4. CAADRIA Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia

The Journal is also strongly supported by the CAADFutures Foundation and the Foundation also contributes to the editorial arrangements for IJAC.

IJAC is a peer-reviewed journal featuring high-quality, original research papers (including state-of-the-art reviews), brief papers, and letters in all theoretical and technological areas that make up the field of Architectural Computing. Certain issues will have contemporary themes.

We will consider papers on all caad-related areas, including:

  • Architectural Design Decision Support Systems
