INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY

Information and Software Technology is the international archival journal focusing on research and experience that contributes to the improvement of software development practices. The journal's scope includes methods and techniques to better engineer software and manage its development. Articles submitted for review should have a clear component of software engineering or address ways to improve the engineering and management of software development. Areas covered by the journal include:? Software management, quality and metrics, ? Software processes, ? Software architecture, modelling, specification, design and programming? Functional and non-functional software requirements ? Software testing and verification & validation ? Empirical studies of all aspects of engineering and managing software developmentShort Communications is a new section dedicated to short papers addressing new ideas, controversial opinions, "Negative" results and much more. Read the Guide for authors for more information.The journal encourages and welcomes submissions of systematic literature studies (reviews and maps) within the scope of the journal. Information and Software Technology is the premiere outlet for systematic literature studies in software engineering. Guidelines for conducting systematic reviews are provided here.Special Issues and Special Sections proposalsTo submit a proposal for a special issue (original contributions on a topic within the scope of the journal) or a special section with extended papers from a conference of workshop within the scope of the journal, please contact the Special Content Editor, Prof. C. Wohlin (claes.wohlin@bth.se).

《信息与软件技术》是一本国际档案期刊，专注于有助于改进软件开发实践的研究和经验。该杂志的范围包括更好地设计软件和管理其开发的方法和技术。提交审查的文章应该有一个软件工程的清晰组成部分，或者讨论如何改进软件开发的工程和管理。期刊涵盖的领域包括：?软件管理、质量和度量?软件过程?软件架构、建模、规范、设计和编程?功能和非功能软件需求?软件测试、验证和确认?工程和管理软件开发各方面的实证研究短讯是一个新的部分，专门处理新的想法，有争议的意见，负面的结果和更多的短文。阅读作者指南了解更多信息。该期刊鼓励并欢迎在该期刊范围内提交系统的文献研究（评论和地图）。信息与软件技术是软件工程系统文献研究的首要出口。这里提供了进行系统审查的指导方针。特殊问题和特殊章节建议如需提交一份特别期刊（期刊范围内某一主题的原始稿件）或一份特别章节（期刊范围内研讨会的扩展论文），请联系特别内容编辑C.Wohlin教授（claes.wollin@bth.se）。
