Description


The Journal of Systems and Software publishes papers covering all aspects of programming methodology, software engineering, and related hardware-software-systems issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, software development environments and tools, techniques for developing, validating, and maintaining software systems, software architecture and design, global software development, service orientation, agile approaches, mobile, multiprocessing, real-time, distributed, concurrent, and telecommunications systems, software metrics, reliability models for software, performance issues, and management concerns. The journal publishes research papers, state-of-the-art surveys, and reports of practical experience. All articles should consider the practical application of the idea advanced through case studies, experiments, or systematic comparisons with other approaches already in practice. Occasionally, special issues are devoted to topics of particular interest; proposals for such issues are invited.

Controversy corner.
It is the intention of the Journal of Systems and Software to publish, from time to time, articles cut from a different cloth. The goal of the Controversy corner is both to present information and to stimulate thought and discussion. Topics chosen for this coverage are not just traditional formal discussions of research work; they also contain ideas at the fringes of the field's "conventional wisdom".
Articles in this category will succeed only to the extent that they stimulate not just thought, but action. If you have a strong reaction to such an article, either positive or negative, send it along to your editor, at eicjss@few.vu.nl.
We will publish the best of the responses as Controversy revisited.

Software Architecture authors can ready submit their papers to the section Editors via our online submissions systems.
