Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to inform you that the CIDAC Journal has recently been taken over by Millpress Science Publishers (based at Rotterdam in The Netherlands). As part of the new dispensation, the scope of the journal has been broadened, resulting in a name change. CIDAC is now IT-AEC (IT in Architecture, Engineering and Construction). For further details, visit the Journal Website: www.lboro.ac.uk/it-aec. The old CIDAC Website (www.lboro.ac.uk/cidac) will automatically redirect you to the new Website. Authors of all papers 'in the system' have been informed by the Journal Administrator of the timescle for the publication of their papers. As each issue is finalised, details will be posted on the Website. Prospective authors should submit their papers to me as usual, preferably in electronic format. Millpress is committed to a top quality journal with timely publication of papers - so expect a much improved service! IT-AEC will continue to be available in both print and electronic formats. The subscription form on the journal Website or the publisher's Website (www.millpress.com) permits either or both of these formats. Please use this form to take out a personal or institutional subscription. The (low) 2003 subscription rate includes the first issue of IT-AEC in November 2002 and the four issues to be published in 2003. May I seize this opportunity to thank you for your continued support for IT-AEC. Sincerely, Chimay ******************************************************** Professor Chimay J.
