Journal of Software-Evolution and Process英文简介

The “Journal of Software-Evolution and Process” is an archival journal that publishes high quality, state-of-the-art research and practice papers dealing with the conception, development, testing, management, quality, maintenance, and evolution of software, systems, and services, as well as the continuous improvement of processes and capabilities surrounding them. The journal continues the tradition of “The Journal of Software Maintenance and Evolution: Research and Practice” and “Software Process: Improvements and Practice”. We will therefore continue to cover the traditional topics related to software maintenance and evolution as well as software process improvement and practice. At the same time, the concept behind the journal has evolved into a unified vision that recognizes the fundamental changes and transformations that are occurring in the fields of software and systems engineering and the need for us to adapt by broadening the topics that we address and the research methods that are used coupled with the perspectives that are utilised.Fundamental changes are occurring in the variety, scale and scope of software, systems and services that are being developed from new web and mobile computing to battle theatre technologies and everything in between.Areas of interest include but are not limited to:How software, systems and enabled services are conceived, justified, created, managed, maintained and evolved over timeHow new underlying technologies (which are constantly changing) can be elegantly integrated and dealt with as systems evolve over timeHow new platforms and architectures are developed, tested, modified, and evolved to create the variety of applications needed now, and in the futureHow new processes and tools can be utilised in all phases of the development lifecycle (from system concept to test) in order to conceive, justify, create, modify and evolve these new technologies, platforms, systems and servicesHow high-level representations of existing software, systems and services can be reverse engineered and used to support maintenance and evolutionHow people issues regarding cross disciplinary or geographically dispersed virtual teams can be addressedHow the skill sets needed to participate and manage these projects will be developedHow globally dispersed projects should be managedHow new models of collaboration and participation will be deployed and managedWhat models will be used to estimate costs and predict performance of projects and process changesThe technical, schedule, budgetary and other risks associated with developing and evolving new systems and how they will be managedHow to improve organisational capability and maturityHow maturity assessments and evaluations can contribute to organisationsHow to continuously improve processes associated with software, systems and servicesThe new business models that are needed for the software, systems, and servicesWhat the performance impact of process changes will beHow process change efforts impacting systems and services will be managed and organisedHow justification, sourcing and technical development decisions will be made as software and systems evolve from products to services, or more likely a combination of both, along with tiered levels of service based on a “pay as you go” and “value in use” business modelsHow the impacts of agile development and management of new software, systems and services will impactsystems, services and organisationsThe journal publishes research papers, empirical studies and state-of-the-art surveys. Occasionally, we publish special issues on topics of particular interest; proposals for such issues are welcome.

Journal of Software-Evolution and Process中文简介

《软件期刊：进化与过程》是一本档案期刊，发表高质量，最先进的研究和实践论文，涉及软件的概念，开发，测试，管理，质量，维护和发展，系统和服务，以及围绕它们的流程和能力的不断改进。该期刊延续了《软件维护与进化期刊：研究与实践》和《软件过程：改进与实践》的传统。因此，我们将继续涵盖与软件维护和演进以及软件过程改进和实践相关的传统主题。与此同时，该期刊背后的概念已发展成为一个统一的愿景，它承认软件和系统工程领域正在发生的根本变化和变革，以及我们通过扩大我们所讨论的主题和研究方法与所使用的观点相结合。正在开发的软件、系统和服务的种类、规模和范围正在发生根本性的变化，这些软件、系统和服务从新的网络和移动计算发展到战场技术，以及两者之间的一切。感兴趣的领域包括但不限于：软件、系统和启用的服务是如何随着时间的推移被构想、证明、创建、管理、维护和发展的；随着系统的不断发展，新的底层技术（不断变化）如何能够优雅地集成和处理；如何开发、测试、修改和发展新的平台和架构，以创建现在和将来需要的各种应用程序；如何在开发生命周期的所有阶段（从系统概念到测试）使用新的过程和工具，以构想、证明、创建、修改和发展这些新技术、平台、系统和服务；如何对现有软件、系统和服务的高级表示进行逆向工程，并用于支持维护和演进；如何解决跨学科或地理分散的虚拟团队的人员问题；如何开发参与和管理这些项目所需的技能集；如何管理全球分散的项目；如何部署和管理新的合作和参与模式；什么模型将被用来估计成本和预测项目的性能和过程的变化；与开发和发展新系统有关的技术、进度、预算和其他风险，以及如何管理这些风险；如何提高组织能力和成熟度；成熟度评估和评估如何为组织做出贡献；如何持续改进与软件、系统和服务相关的流程；软件、系统和服务所需的新业务模型；流程更改的性能影响将是什么；如何管理和组织影响系统和服务的流程变更工作；随着软件和系统从产品发展到服务，或者更可能是两者的结合，以及基于“按需付；费”和“使用价值”业务模型的分层服务级别，将如何做出正当理由、寻源和技术开发决策敏捷开发和管理新软件、系统和服务的影响将如何影响；系统、服务和组织；该杂志发表研究论文、实证研究和最新调查。偶尔，我们会就特别感兴趣的话题发表特别的文章；欢迎对这些问题提出建议。
