Full papers will be submitted for indexation in the Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI Web of Knowledge and SCOPUS). A collection of several high quality selected papers will be included in the book “Multibody Dynamics - Computational Methods and Applications” planned to be published by Springer. A number of selected papers will be published, after being reviewed, in Special Issues of the journals Multibody System Dynamics, Archive of Mechanical Engineering and International Journal of Railway Technology.
