Professor Andrew Nee and Dr SK Ong, from the National University of Singapore, and Professor YG Wang, from the Huazhong University of Science & Technology, PR China, teamed up to jointly publish a book on Computer Applications in Near Net-Shape Operations. The publisher Springer-Verlag has just published the book August 1999.

The proposal to write this book was originated when Professor Y G Wang from the Huazhong University of Science & Technology (HUST), PR China visited the Department of Mechanical & Production Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS) in 1995. In search of a joint collaboration, Professor Wang and Professor Nee suggested that since both universities had done a good amount of work in the application of computer techniques to the design, simulation and analysis of near net-shape operations, a book to detail the research findings would be very appropriate.

This book is intended to be of interest to researchers, graduate students and practicing engineers involved in the design, simulation and analysis of near net-shape operations.
