IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

The IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering is an archival journal published monthly. We are interested in well-defined theoretical results and empirical studies that have potential impact on the construction, analysis, or management of software. The scope of this Transactions ranges from the mechanisms through the development of principles to the application of those principles to specific environments. Since the journal is archival, it is assumed that the ideas presented are important, have been well analyzed, and/or empirically validated and are of value to the software engineering research or practitioner community. Specific topic areas include: a) development and maintenance methods and models, e.g., techniques and principles for the specification, design, and implementation of software systems, including notations and process models; b) assessment methods, e.g., software tests and validation, reliability models, test and diagnosis procedures, software redundancy and design for error control, and the measurements and evaluation of various aspects of the process and product; c) software project management, e.g., productivity factors, cost models, schedule and organizational issues, standards; d) tools and environments, e.g., specific tools, integrated tool environments including the associated architectures, databases, and parallel and distributed processing issues; e) system issues, e.g., hardware-software trade-off; and f) state-of-the-art surveys that provide a synthesis and comprehensive review of the historical development of one particular area of interest.

IEEE软件工程学报是一本每月出版一次的档案期刊。我们感兴趣的是定义良好的理论结果和经验研究，它们对软件的构建、分析或管理具有潜在的影响。该事务的范围从开发原则的机制到将这些原则应用到特定环境。由于该期刊是归档的，所以假定所提出的思想是重要的，经过了很好的分析，并且/或者经过了经验验证，并且对软件工程研究或者实践者社区有价值。具体的主题领域包括：a)开发和维护方法和模型，例如，软件系统规范、设计和实现的技术和原则，包括符号和过程模型；b)评估方法，如软件测试和验证、可靠性模型、测试和诊断程序、软件冗余和错误控制设计，以及过程和产品各方面的测量和评估；c)软件项目管理，如生产力因素、成本模型、进度和组织问题、标准；d)工具和环境，例如特定的工具、集成的工具环境，包括相关的体系结构、数据库以及并行和分布式处理问题；e)系统问题，如软硬件权衡；f)对某一特定兴趣领域的历史发展进行综合和全面审查的最先进的调查。
