Aims & Scope


JSEA is a professional journal in the field of software engineering and application. The goal of this journal is to provide an international platform for engineers and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and development in the field of software engineering. It is an archival publication to disseminate the results of fundamental and applied research, especially those relevant to software engineering. This journal aims to encourage deeper understanding and greater effectiveness in the theory analysis and engineering application relevant to software engineering fields.

All manuscripts must be prepared in English, and are subject to a rigorous and fair peer-review process. Accepted papers will immediately appear online followed by printed hard copy. The journal publishes original papers including but not limited to the following fields:

  • · Automated Software Design and Synthesis
  • · Automated Software Specification
  • · Component-Based Software Engineering
  • · Computer-Supported Cooperative Work
  • · Formal Methods
  • · Knowledge Acquisition
  • · Object-Oriented Technology
  • · Patterns and Frameworks
  • · Process and Workflow Management
  • · Program Understanding Issues
  • · Programming Languages and Software Engineering
  • · Reflection and Metadata Approaches
  • · Reliability and Fault Tolerance
  • · Requirements Engineering
  • · Reverse Engineering
  • · Software Architecture
  • · Software Design Methods
  • · Software Domain Modeling and Meta-Modeling
  • · Software Engineering Decision Support
  • · Software Engineering Education
  • · Software Maintenance and Evolution
  • · Software Process Modeling
  • · Software Quality
  • · Software Reuse
  • · Software Testing
  • · Tutoring, Help, Documentation Systems
  • We are also interested in short papers (letters) that clearly address a specific problem, and short survey or position papers that sketch the results or problems on a specific topic. Authors of selected short papers would be invited to write a regular paper on the same topic for future issues of the JSEA.
