Removed from DOAJ (2023-05-28). DOAJ's stated reason: Journal not adhering to Best practice. A removal from the Directory of Open Access Journals is a quality/transparency signal — it can mean the journal became inactive or failed DOAJ's re-review criteria. This is not proof of predatory practice, but verify the journal's current status and policies before submitting. Check on DOAJ ↗

Aims & Scope

The objective of the journal is to publish and discuss fundamentals, applications and experiences in the fields of Online Engineering (remote engineering, virtual instrumentation and online simulations, etc) and Biomedical Engineering/e-Health . The use of cyber-physical systems, virtual and remote controlled devices and remote laboratories are the directions for advanced teleworking/e-working environments. In general, online engineering is a future trend in engineering and science. Due to the growing complexity of engineering tasks, more and more specialized and expensive equipment as well as software tools and simulators, shortage of highly qualified staff, and the demands of globalization and collaboration activities, it become essential to utilize cyber cloud technologies to maximize the use of engineering resources. Online engineering is the way to address these issues. Considering these, one focus of the International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering is to provide a platform to publish fundamentals, applications and experiences in the field of Online Engineering , for example: Remote Engineering Internet of Things Cyber-physical Systems Digital Twins Industry 4.0 Virtual Instrumentation Online Simulations Virtual and Remote Laboratories Cyber Security Remote Process Visualization and Virtual Instrumentation Augmented and Mixed Reality environments Data Science Remote & Crowd Sensing Collaborative Networks Cyber Cloud Technologies Service Architectures Smart Devices M2M Concepts as well as Virtual Organizations and Enterprises. An important application field of online engineering tools and principles are Biomedical Engineering / e-Health . Topics we are interested to publish are: Automation Technology for Medical Applications Big Data in Medicine Biomedical Devices Biosensors Biosignal Processing Clinical Informatics Computational Neuroscience Computer-Aided Surgery Data Analytics, Data Mining and Machine Learning Devices and Systems for Remote Surgical Intervention Electronic Healthcare Healthcare Information Systems ICT in Biomedical sciences Informatics for Education & Research in e-Health Interactive 3-D Models Medical Apps Medical Image Processing Patient Monitoring Systems Remote Monitoring Robotics in Healthcare Telemedicine, eHealth, mHealth, Home Care Therapeutic Engineering and Systems Usability, Risk Management, and Patient Safety The iJOE aims to bridge the gap between pure academic research journals and application oriented publications. So, it considers manuscripts covering fundamental research, application developments, experience reports, and product descriptions.
