About the journal

The production of high-quality software is a major concern of today's computing industry. Delivering software on time and within budget, and satisfying all of its requirements pose significant technical challenges for researchers, managers, and practitioners. Annals of Software Engineering provides state-of-the-art, in-depth coverage of recent developments in this dynamically changing discipline to enable anyone involved in engineering of complex software systems to keep up-to-date with the changing technology.
Annals of Software Engineering is an international archival, peer-reviewed journal which covers all aspects of software engineering. It is published annually in complete volumes. Each volume focuses on a particular topic of software engineering and contains state-of-the-art survey and tutorial papers as well as industrial and academic research and application papers. The tutorial and survey papers and in-depth coverage of software engineering topics make the journal essential reading for researchers, practitioners, managers, educators, and students.
Topics of coverage include, but are not restricted to:
Computer-Aided Software Engineering;
Human Factors in Software Engineering;
Multimedia Software Engineering;
Object-Oriented Software Engineering;
Real-Time Software Engineering;
Software Configuration Management;
Software Cost Estimation;
