Science of Computer Programming is dedicated to the distribution of
research results in the areas of software systems
development,
use and maintenance, including the software aspects of hardware
design.
The journal has a wide scope ranging from the
many
facets of methodological
foundations to the details of technical issues and
the aspects of
industrial practice.
The subjects
of interest to SCP cover the entire
spectrum of methods for the entire life cycle of software systems, including
• requirements,
specification, design ,
validation, verification,
coding, testing,
maintenance, metrics and renovation of software;
•
design, implementation and evaluation of
programming languages;
• programming environments, development tools, visualisation
and animation;
• management of the development process;
• human factors in software.
• software aspects
of operating systems, system administration and network management
Special emphasis
is given to recent trends in software
development, such as
software architecture, component-based
software development and web-based software
engineering.
SCP is divided
into four tracks.
These are: (1) Concepts and methodology, (2)
Formal techniques,
(3) Experimental software technology,
(4) Descriptive
software technology,
1) The conceptual track is open for methodological,
philosophical and
sociological studies on all aspects
of computer
software production and usage, including ethics.
2) The formal track emphasizes the development
and the pragmatic
application of formal and semiformal techniques.
Submissions which the editors consider mainly
mathematical or theoretical
in nature,
with the preliminary consent of the
authors, will normally be
forwarded to the sister journal TCS.
3) The experimental track
is open for expositions
on
implementations of and experiments with novel
programming languages,
systems and methods. It must be
emphasized that
papers describing new
software tools of relevance to SCP are welcome
under the strict condition
that the source code
of the tools is open.
4) The descriptive track deals with
observational studies of
current software development practices,
reporting
on new languages,
systems and methods, including survey reports on
the various themes.
Special Issues
Science of Computer Programming welcomes Special Issues within its Scope either resulting from conferences or workshops or from dedicated
editorial efforts.
