This paper provides a current research trend for “Materials Integration”, which is a concept to accelerate research and development of structural materials by computationally linking among process, structure, property, and performance. The survey is carried out based on the special issue published in February, 2019 in Materials Transactions (Vol. 60, No. 2) and the overviews published in November, 2020 in Materials Transactions (Vol. 61, No. 11). The concept has been embodied in a computer system named MInt (Materials Integration by Network Technology), on which computational modules and workflows are implemented to predict performance from process through microstructure and property. The research works on the system development and the computational materials analyses are briefly introduced, highlighting the rising trend of data-driven research in structural materials.
