Software (ISSN: 2674-113X) [1] is an international open access journal that will publish papers on all aspects of software engineering. The purpose of this journal is to bring together researchers, engineers, and software developers from academia and industry to present novel ideas and solid research about the theoretical and practical aspects in the application domains of software.
Software aims to accept regular research papers, reviews, communications, and especially studies and viewpoints that bear strong practical relevance. Software seeks to have a practical orientation and wants to provide research to influence the practice of software engineering. We welcome researchers and practitioners worldwide to contribute to Software in any emerging or consolidated topics of software engineering, including but not limited to the following:
- Software requirements, design, architecture, development, testing, verification, validation, defect prediction, debugging, maintenance, and evolution;
- Software security, privacy, quality, and malware analysis;
- Software metrics, analytics, and data repository;
- Continuous software engineering, agile, model-driven, and service-oriented software development methods and tools;
- DevOps;
- Public sector software systems, software procurement, open-source software platforms;
- Requirements engineering;
- Programming languages, code assessment, and tools;
- Artificial Intelligence in software engineering;
- Fog/edge/cloud computing in software engineering;
- Software engineering for education, business, and society;
- Empirical software engineering;
- Software business, ecosystems, software startups, startup software engineering;
- Software product management, software engineering economics;
- Software platforms;
- Behavioral software engineering, human factors of software engineering;
- Ethical aspects of software engineering;
- Emerging trends and research areas.
Software aims to facilitate increased collaboration between research scientists and software practitioners around the world to produce innovative ideas and cutting-edge technologies that will be submitted to Software. We encourage researchers to promote Special Issues on current topics, and we want to particularly support young researchers in developing their academic careers. We hope Software will help the community in bridging the gap between industry and academia by coming up with new ways of sharing scientific research results. We expect this to be of significance for any member of the scientific community enthusiastic about participating in this project.
We look forward to your participation in this exciting journal.
