IJFSE proposes and fosters discussions on the definition and identification of methods, techniques, approaches, patterns and tools for systemic analysis and investigation of software failures encompassing the retrospective analysis of the impact on processes for software products and systems specification, design, development and maintenance.

   Objectives

IJFSE aims at establishing a forum for encouraging research and disseminating experiences on identification and definition of methodologies, technologies, approaches to software defects detection, analysis, recognition, classification and prevention as well as techniques and methods, including mathematical modelling and simulations, for data analysis and impact evaluation on software processes for systems, product and service engineering, on software and service development and maintenance, in order to avoid injecting the same defects in new systems.

   Readership

Software engineering researchers and practitioners, software developers and systems testers, IT specialists, software and systems quality assurance managers, educators.

   Contents

IJFSE publishes original research papers, technical and experience reports, case studies, and conference reports. Special Issues devoted to relevant topics in related research areas will occasionally be published.

   Subject Coverage

IJFSE covers all aspects related to software engineering for robust and faults/defects tolerant systems and services design and implementation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Software defect analysis methods and tools
• Mathematical and statistical models for data analysis and correlations
• Formal methods
• Products and processes metrics collection and analysisv
• Simulation techniques and environments
• System and service engineering
• Systems and services science
• Software integrity
• Domain-specific software engineering techniques and languages
• Novel software engineering methodologies
• Software development environments and CASE tools
• Software testing, analysis and verification
• Software understanding and reengineering
• Measurement, metrics, estimation methods, and empirical studies
• Software quality assurance

   Specific Notes for Authors

Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. (N.B. Conference papers may only be submitted if the paper was not originally copyrighted and if it has been completely re-written).

All papers are refereed through a double blind process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Submission of Papers web-page.

You may send one copy in the form of an MS Word file attached to an e-mail (details of file formats in Author Guidelines) to Dr. Pierluigi Ritrovato

Please include in your submission the title of the Journal
