JCST Special Section on Software Systems 2020

The Journal of Computer Science & Technology, a CCF B ranked journal, is going to have a special section on software systems. Software systems have played critical roles in scientific research, business and society with research focuses on construction, operation, maintenance, and assessment of software systems. The special section is an effort to encourage and promote research to address challenges from the software systems perspective and its goal is to present the state-of-the-art and high-quality original research papers in the area of software systems.

The JCST’s special section of software systems covers two main themes:

• Internetware and Beyond, aiming to provide a forum where researchers and professionals from multiple disciplines and domains share ideas to explore and address the challenges brought by Internetware. It solicits submissions describing results of theoretical, empirical, conceptual, and experimental software engineering research related to Internetware.
• Dependable Software Engineering, soliciting submissions describing theoretical results, tools, and applications, related to applying formal methods in improving the quality of computer software and systems.

Accepted papers to the Dependable Software Engineering theme will be presented and discussed at the SETTA 2020 conference.

Papers need to be submitted before April 10, 2020; for more details about the themes, submission instructions and deadlines, see the official JCST CFP page.
