The Computer Journal is changing!
Computer science has matured and evolved into many discrete areas of research. The Computer Journal is evolving too, in order to cater for the needs of authors and readers working in the modern research environment.
The Computer Journal is now published in two sections:
Section A: Computer Science, Methods and Tools publishes high quality research papers, review articles and special issues in all computer science topics other than those covered in Section B. Topics for inclusion in Section A may include areas such as theory, algorithms, software engineering, data structures, and complexity.
Section B: Networks and Computer Systems focuses on the latest ideas and research in computer systems and networks. This section is for researchers involved in the latest developments in topics such as architectures, mobile and wireless computing, network protocols, security, reliability and performance optimisation. In addition to research papers, this section will also publish commissioned reviews and special issues.
Launching in 2010!
Section C: Computational Intelligence builds on artificial intelligence, robotics and machine intelligence to develop smart methods and tools that solve challenging problems in areas such as data mining, image processing, knowledge-based systems and the semantic web.
The frequency of the journal has increased from 6 to 8 issues a year. Sections A and B are comprised of four issues each and subscribers to The Computer Journal receive all issues of both sections.
From 2010, the journal will increase to 10 issues a year, and two of these issues will be Section C. Subscribers will receive all 10 issues.
All sections will publish papers which have been subjected to the rigorous peer-review process that has helped establish The Computer Journal as one of the most respected titles in computer science.
