COMPUTER STANDARDS & INTERFACES

The quality of software, well-defined interfaces (hardware and software), the process of digitalisation, and accepted standards in these fields are essential for building and exploiting complex computing, communication, multimedia and measuring systems. Standards can simplify the design and construction of individual hardware and software components and help to ensure satisfactory interworking.Computer Standards & Interfaces is an international journal dealing specifically with these topics.The journal? Provides information about activities and progress on the definition of computer standards, software quality, interfaces and methods, at national, European and international levels? Publishes critical comments on standards and standards activities? Disseminates user's experiences and case studies in the application and exploitation of established or emerging standards, interfaces and methods? Offers a forum for discussion on actual projects, standards, interfaces and methods by recognised experts? Stimulates relevant research by providing a specialised refereed medium.Computer Standards & Interfaces is concerned with the specification, development and application of standards and with high-level publications of developments and methods in the following areas:? Standards, Information Management, Formal Methods - Computers, Processors, Storage, Operating systems, Languages, Databases, Graphics, User interface, Multimedia, Information security, Office automation, Development of standards and instruments, Applications? Software Quality, Software Process - Languages, Operating systems, Programming, Requirements specification, Design & implementation, Inspection & test, Maintenance, Product and process evaluation, Performance, Tools, Metrics, Embedded systems, Software in measurement and technical systems including real-time aspects, Development of International Standards in Software Engineering? Distributed Systems, Open Systems, E-Topics - Digital interfaces, System and device buses, Fieldbuses, Data communication, Distributed computing, Protocols, Open systems interconnection, Local and wide area networks, Internet, Worldwide Web, Network security, Cryptology, E-services, E-business, E-commerce? Data Acquisition - Analog-to-digital conversion, Specification, Modelling, Industrial electronics, Real-time systems, Laboratory automation, Automatic measurement, Process control, Electromagnetic compatibility? Digital Instruments Standardisation - Forum of EUPAS, European Project for ADC-based devices, Standardisation (IMEKO TC-4 Working Group on A/D and D/A Converter Metrology), IEEE TC-10, IEC TC-42-WG8, IEC TC-85-WG16; Standardi-sation of specifications, modelling, testing, and analog and digital processing for digital instrumentsThe last issue of a volume includes an author index and a subject index.CS&I also covers general topics concerning the standardisation process, such as technical, political and commercial aspects of standards, their impact on the marketplace, cost/benefit analyses, legislative issues, and relationships among national and international standards bodies.

软件质量、定义良好的接口（硬件和软件）、数字化过程以及这些领域中公认的标准对于构建和开发复杂的计算、通信、多媒体和测量系统至关重要。标准可以简化单个硬件和软件组件的设计和构造，并有助于确保令人满意的交互工作。计算机标准与接口是专门处理这些主题的国际期刊。学报?在国家、欧洲和国际层面提供有关计算机标准定义、软件质量、接口和方法的活动和进展的信息。?对标准和标准活动发表评论?传播用户在应用和开发既定或新兴标准、接口和方法方面的经验和案例研究?提供一个论坛，供公认专家讨论实际项目、标准、接口和方法。?通过提供专业的推荐媒介来促进相关研究。计算机标准和接口涉及标准的规范、开发和应用，以及以下领域的开发和方法的高级出版物：?标准、信息管理、正式方法-计算机、处理器、存储、操作系统、语言、数据库、图形、用户界面、多媒体、信息安全、办公自动化、标准和仪器的开发、应用?软件质量、软件过程-语言、操作系统、编程、需求规范、设计和实施、检查和测试、维护、产品和过程评估、性能、工具、度量标准、嵌入式系统、测量和技术系统中的软件，包括实时方面、国际开发软件工程标准?分布式系统、开放系统、电子主题-数字接口、系统和设备总线、现场总线、数据通信、分布式计算、协议、开放系统互连、本地和广域网、互联网、全球网络、网络安全、密码学、电子服务、电子商务、电子商务?数据采集-模拟-数字转换、规范、建模、工业电子、实时系统、实验室自动化、自动测量、过程控制、电磁兼容性?数字仪器标准化-欧洲公用事业局论坛，基于ADC的设备欧洲项目，标准化（IMEKO TC-4 A/D和D/A转换器计量工作组），IEEE TC-10，IEC TC-42-WG8，IEC TC-85-WG16；数字仪器的规范、建模、测试和模拟和数字处理标准化卷的最后一期包括作者索引和主题索引。CS&I还涉及标准化过程的一般主题，如标准的技术、政治和商业方面、对市场的影响、成本/效益分析、立法问题以及国家和国际标准机构之间的关系。
