The quality of software, well-defined interfaces (hardware and software), the process of digitalisation, and
accepted standards in these fields are essential for building and exploiting complex computing, communication, multimedia and measuring
systems. Standards can simplify the design and construction of individual hardware and software components and help to ensure satisfactory
interworking.
COMPUTER STANDARDS & INTERFACES is an international journal dealing specifically with these topics.
The journal
• provides information about activities and progress on the definition of computer standards, software quality,
interfaces and methods, at national, European and international levels
• publishes critical comments on standards and standards
activities
• disseminates user's experiences and case studies in the application and exploitation of established or emerging
standards, interfaces and methods
• offers a forum for discussion on actual projects, standards, interfaces and methods by
recognised experts
• stimulates relevant research by providing a specialised refereed medium.
COMPUTER STANDARDS &
INTERFACES is concerned with the specification, development and application of standards and with high-level publications of developments
and methods in the following areas:
• Standards, Information Management, Formal Methods - Computers, Processors,
Storage, Operating systems, Languages, Databases, Graphics, User interface, Multimedia, Information security, Office automation, Development
of standards and instruments, Applications
• Software Quality, Software Process - Languages, Operating systems, Programming,
Requirements specification, Design & implementation, Inspection & test, Maintenance, Product and process evaluation, Performance,
Tools, Metrics, Embedded systems, Software in measurement and technical systems including real-time aspects, Development of International
Standards in Software Engineering
• Distributed Systems, Open Systems, E-Topics - Digital interfaces, System and device
buses, Fieldbuses, Data communication, Distributed computing, Protocols, Open systems interconnection, Local and wide area networks,
Internet, Worldwide Web, Network security, Cryptology, E-services, E-business, E-commerce
• Data Acquisition - Analog-to-digital
conversion, Specification, Modelling, Industrial electronics, Real-time systems, Laboratory automation, Automatic measurement, Process
control, Electromagnetic compatibility
• Digital Instruments Standardisation - Forum of EUPAS, European Project for ADC-based
devices, Standardisation (IMEKO TC-4 Working Group on A/D and D/A Converter Metrology), IEEE TC-10, IEC TC-42-WG8, IEC TC-85-WG16; Standardi-sation
of specifications, modelling, testing, and analog and digital processing for digital instruments
The last issue of a volume includes
an author index and a subject index.
CS&I also covers general topics concerning the standardisation process, such as technical,
political and commercial aspects of standards, their impact on the marketplace, cost/benefit analyses, legislative issues, and relationships
among national and international standards bodies.
