About the journal
Information and Software Technology is the international technical journal covering software development. It bridges the gap between the theories of software engineering and the application of information technology within organizations. The journal covers the entire area of information processing, from state-of-the-art research, through software development and implementation, to information systems management.
Papers published in the journal are drawn from current developments in areas such as:
empirical and experimental analyses.
software metrics.
software processes and development methods.
project management.
quality control and standards.
object orientation.
concurrency.
human factors.
testing.
implementation techniques.
database design.
information systems.
The journal focuses on international research on software development and its application in industry; discusses techniques for tailoring software and information systems for institutional, industrial, and commercial use; explains in depth the techniques that produce more efficient and reliable systems and emphasizes the use of proper methodologies and formal practices to improve software productivity.

General Author Instructions
Contribution should be arranged as follows:
Paper title, authors name, affiliations, full postal address, telephone, fax and e-mail details. The title should be short, specific and informative
Self-contained abstract of no more than 100 words, outlining the aims, scope and conclusion of the paper. Three to five keywords should be included
The text, suitable divided under numbered headings (introduction; method; result; discussion)
Acknowledgements (if any)
References (following the journal's style)
Appendix (if any)
Tables (each on a separate sheet)
Captions to illustrations (grouped on a separate sheet)
Illustrations, each on a separate sheet and clearly labelled if not using electronic submission
Ensure that all figures and tables are mentioned in the text. Note that trade name should have a capital letter. Footnotes should be avoided if possible and be brief. They should be numbered consecutively.
Units and abbreviations
All measurements and data should be given in SI units, or if SI units do not exist in an internationally accepted unit. If you use any symbol or unit not generally recognised, please include an explanation the first time it is used. Abbreviations and acronyms should only be used for unwieldy terms and names that occur frequently. Abbreviation should be consistently throughout the text, and must be clearly defined in full on first use.
Equations
Detailed mathematical discussion should be placed in an appendix. Equation should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in parentheses. The meaning of all symbols should be explained in the text when they first occur. Journal style for letter symbols is as follows: variables, italic type; constants, roman type; matrices and vectors, bold type.
Tables
Tables should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and given a suitable caption. All table columns should have an explanatory heading, and where appropriate units of measurement. Footnotes to table should be typed below the table and referred to by superscript letters. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript.
Figures
Figures should be numbered with Arabic numerals in order of appearance and should have short descriptive captions. If submitting via mail, line drawings must be professionally drafted originals, in black ink, with lettering large enough to be legible after a reduction of 50-60%. Photographs must be glossy prints. Figures should be designed to fit the proportions of the printed page. Figure captions should be typed double-spaced on a separate sheet. Further information concerning colour illustrations and costs is available from the Publisher.
Electronic artwork
Submitting your illustrations, pictures, tables and other artwork in an electronic format helps us to produce your work to the best possible standards, ensuring accuracy, clarity and a high level of detail. Please refer to http://authors.elsevier.com/ArtworkInstructions.html?dc=AI1 for detailed instructions. This site shows how to prepare your artwork for electronic submission and includes: common problems, suggestions on how to ensure the best results, and guidelines for popular applications. See the links under Creating your Artwork for details about using specific artwork software.
References
In the text, indicate references by Arabic numerals in square brackets. Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication. Reports should not be cited unless absolutely necessary.
To cite a web reference, as a minimum, the full URL should be given. Any further information, if known (author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given.
References should be listed alphabetically, as in the following examples: books [1], articles in journals [2], paper in a contributed volume [3], conference [4]:
[1] J.P. Bigus, Data Mining with Neural Networks, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1996.
[2] D.E. Knuth, A combinatorial optimization approach, Theoret. Comput. Sci. 90 (1991) 1-15.
[3] A.K. Lenstra, H.W. Lenstra, Algorithms in number theory, in: J. Leeuwen (Ed.), Handbook of Computer Science, A, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1990, pp. 673-715.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LaTeX documents
If the LaTeX file is suitable, proofs will be produced without rekeying the text. The article should preferably be written using Elsevier Science's document class 'elsart', or alternatively the standard document class 'article'.
The Elsevier LaTeX package (which includes detailed instructions for LaTeX preparation) can be obtained from Elsevier's web site: http://www.elsevier.com/locate/latex or http://www.authors.elsevier.com/latex. It consists of the files: elsart.cls (use this file if you are using LaTeX2e, the current version of LaTeX), elsart.sty and elsart13.sty (use these two files if you are using LaTeX3.09, the previous version of LaTeX), guidelines for users of elsart, a template file for quick start, and the instruction booklet "Preparing articles with LaTeX."
Figures may be inserted in the usual way using an \includegraphics command, at the position in the article where they are cited.
Your LaTeX file will be most useful as input for the printed article if you obey the following rules of thumb:
1. Be consistent. If you use a macro for a phrase, use it throughout.
2. Use standard LaTeX mark-up. Do not hardcode your own layout for e.g. section headings, but use the usual LaTeX macro for this purpose.
3. Keep it simple. Do not define macros that accomplish complicated layout. They will also make the input process complicated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Electronic submission of accepted papers: Non-LaTeX documents
Only the final accepted manuscript can be submitted on disk, along with a paper-printed version which is identical to the file. Please label the disk with your name, and mention which word processor you have used. The word-processed text should be in single column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible; in particular, do not use the word-processor's options to justify the text or to hyphenate the words. The list of references, tables and figure legends should be compiled separately from the main text. Do not reserve space for the figures and tables in the text; instead, indicate their approximate locations, either directly in the electronic text or on the manuscript. The final text should be submitted both in manuscript form and on diskette. It is recommended to store the main text, list of references, tables and figure legends in separate text files with clearly identifiable file names (for example, with extensions .TXT, REF, .TBL, .FIG). The format of the files depends on the word-processor used. Texts made with DEC WPS PLUS, DisplayWrite, First Choice, IBM Writing Assistant, Microsoft Word, Multimate, PFS:Write, Professional Writer, Samma Word, Sprint, Total Word, Volkswriter, Wang PC, WordMARC, WordPerfect, Wordstar, or files supplied in DCA.RFT format will be readily processed. In all other cases the preferred text format is ASCII. Essential is that name and version of the word-processing program and the type of computer on which the text was prepared is clearly indicated on the diskette label or the accompanying checklist. The manuscript may contain parts (e.g. formulas or complex tables) or last-minute corrections which are not included in the text on diskette; however, if this is the case then the differences with the diskette version should be clearly marked on the manuscript.
Illustrative material (original figures or high-quality glossy prints, or photographs showing a sharp contrast) should be included separately.

Keyword Instructions
Important Notice: please add one to five keywords to your article.
Keywords are essential for the accessibility and retrievability of your article. Keywords assigned to articles will be assembled in a keyword index which will be printed in the last issue of each volume for each journal, and in cumulative indexes. In addition, it is planned to make keywords available on Internet. To maximize the consistency with which such keywords are assigned by different authors, the following guidelines have been drawn up.
Each keyword (which can be a phrase of more than one word) should describe one single concept. Often words like "and" or "of" should be avoided.
Avoid very general keywords which become meaningless once in a keyword list. Examples to avoid are "action", "computer", "mathematics". Check whether the keywords as a whole describe the outlines of the article.
Use natural language: for instance "automatic error recovery" rather than "error recovery, automatic".
Try to use nouns and adjectives as much as possible (i.e. use "automatic error recovery" rather than "recovering errors automatically"). Do not use nouns in the plural form.
Avoid the use of abbreviations as much as possible, unless an abbreviation is so well-established that the full term is rarely used (e.g. use "laser" instead of "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation", but use "computer aided design" instead of "CAD").

Copyright and permissions
Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that, if the manuscript is accepted for publication, copyright in the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the Publisher. The publisher will not refuse any reasonable request by the author for permission to reproduce any of his or her contributions to the journal.
Authors are responsible for obtaining permissions to reprint previously published figures, tables, and other material. Letters of permission should accompany the final submission.
Proofs
The corresponding author will receive page proofs in PDF format to be checked for typesetting/editing. Corrections should be returned to the Publisher within 48 hours of receipt. Should there be no corrections, this should be indicated. The Publisher reserves the right to proceed with publication if corrections are not communicated.
Offprints
Twenty-five offprints without covers will be provided free of charge. Additional reprints may be purchased; an order form will be included with the proofs.
