Journal Guide

The journal publishes original research papers of high scientific level in the area of theoretical computer science and its applications. Theoretical computer science is understood in its broadest sense and comprises in particular the following areas: automata and formal languages, game theory, rewriting systems, design and analysis of algorithms, complexity theory, quantum computation, concurrent, distributed, parallel computations, verification of programs, “logic” and compilers, computational geometry and graphics on computers, cryptography, combinatorics on words.This list is not supposed to be exhaustive and the editorial board will promote new fields of research that will be worked out in the future.

The journal provides a focus for the dissemination of new results about the elicitation, representation and validation of requirements of software intensive information systems or applications. Theoretical and applied submissions are welcome, but all papers must explicitly address: the practical consequences of the ideas for the design of complex systems how the ideas should be evaluated by the reflective practitioner The journal is motivated by a multi-disciplinary view that considers requirements not only in terms of software components specification but also in terms of activities for their elicitation, representation and agreement, carried out within an organisational and social context. To this end, contributions are sought from fields such as software engineering, information systems, occupational sociology, cognitive and organisational psychology, human-computer interaction, computer-supported cooperative work, linguistics and philosophy for work addressing specifically requirements engineering iss

The aim of Service-Oriented Computing & Applications is to publish original and high quality research results on the service-oriented computing (SOC) paradigm, models and technologies that have significant contributions to the advancement of service oriented systems and their applications. Service-oriented computing has emerged as a major research topic in the past few years. Although the concept has evolved from earlier component-based software frameworks, web service standards are based on the readily and openly available internet protocols, and thus are easier and cheaper for companies to adopt. The strong support from major computer and IT service companies further speeds up the acceptance and adoption of SOC. However, service developers and users face many significant challenges and opportunities that are introduced by the dynamism of software service environments and requirements. This requires new concepts, methods, models, and technologies along with flexible and adaptive infrastructure for services developments and management in order to facilitate the on-demand integration and formation of services across different platforms and organizations. The success of service-oriented systems relies on the adoption of the derived technologies to meet the demands from the evolving environment. The journal focuses on the issues and research results related to the development of service-oriented technology, including service infrastructures, theoretical foundations and their applications and experiences in service-oriented computing. Topics covered by the journal include, but are not limited to, the following subjects as they relate to service-oriented computing and applications: Service-Oriented Architecture Services analysis, design, development and test Service orchestration and composition <, /LI> Resource management for web services Quality and reliability of web services Service-Oriented Software Engineering Formal methods for services analysis, design, development, and test Service requirement engineering SOA solution patterns Services matching and policy Verification and validation of SOA systems Quality and reliability of web services System Technology Security, trust and privacy QoS and end-to-end performance Web service standards Autonomic computing IP and digital right management Brokering and integration Service connection technology Grid-based web services Business Services and Technology Business service representation and knowledge Business process integration and management Supply chain and channel management Auction Negotiation E-business standards Service-Oriented Semantic Computing Semantic web Software agent Service discovery Ontological engineering Service evolutionary approaches Service-Oriented Applications E-business and e-commerce M-commerce E-entertainment E-learning E-government E-health

Sustainable computing is a rapidly expanding research area spanning the fields of computer science and engineering, electrical engineering as well as other engineering disciplines. The aim of Sustainable Computing: Informatics and Systems (SUSCOM) is to publish the myriad research findings related to energy-aware and thermal-aware management of computing resource. Equally important is a spectrum of related research issues such as applications of computing that can have ecological and societal impacts. SUSCOM publishes original and timely research papers and survey articles in current areas of power, energy, temperature, and environment related research areas of current importance to readers. SUSCOM has an editorial board comprising prominent researchers from around the world and selects competitively evaluated peer-reviewed papers.Making computing sustainable - Software systems perspective:• Power-aware software• Code profiling and transformation for power management• Power-aware middleware• Multimedia systems• Scheduling and allocationComputing for sustainability - Use of computing to make the world a sustainable place:• Use of sensors for environmental monitoring• Smart control for eco-friendly buildings• Green Data Centers and Enterprise ComputingRe-inventing algorithms and applications for sustainability:• Theoretical aspect of energy, power, and temperature• Power-aware applications• Resource management to optimize performance and power• Power implications for portable and mobile computing• Algorithms for reduced power, energy and heat for high-performance computingModeling and evaluation of sustainable systems:• Reliability of Power-aware computers• Runtime systems that assist in power saving• Models for collective optimization of power and performance• Monitoring tools for power and performance of parallel and distributed systemsSustainable hardware platforms and devices - Hardware and architecture perspective:• Power aware networking• Real-time systems• Power-efficient architectures• Efficient circuit design for energy harvesting• Power management in memory, disk, storage and other peripheral devices• Configurable and renewable energy• Low power electronics• Embedded systems, ASICs and FPGSs• Power leakage and dissipationPlease submit your article via http://ees.elsevier.com/suscom/
