Author Description

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The peer-reviewed papers of this volume provide a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the worldwide state-of-the art knowledge concerning Precision Engineering and Non-Traditional Machining. They cover precision mechanics design, precision and ultra-precision machining, precision testing and control, non-traditional machining, manufacturing information engineering, MEMS/NEMS, optical instrumentation and technology and materials science and technology. The volume will provide readers not only with a broad overview of the latest advances, but also with a valuable reference source. Broken up into 9 categories, this volume covers topics ranging from ultra-precision machining to using information science in the process of manufacturing. It closes with 18 papers on subjects that don't neatly fit into one of the categories, such as genetic algorithms or color design systems for the color blind. Containing peer-reviewed papers arising from a conference held in Xi'an, China in December 2011, these relatively short pieces appear to offer the latest research and benefit from regular figures, tables and equations. Although billed as an international conference, nearly all of the papers are from scholars at Chinese universities.
