CALL FOR PAPERS -------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you received multiple copy of this. -------------------------------------------------------------- Annals of Software Engineering: Special Volume on "Computational Intelligence In Software Engineering" http://manta.cs.vt.edu/ase The Annals of Software Engineering journal seeks articles for a special volume on "Computational Intelligence In Software Engineering". The constantly evolving technological infrastructure of the modern world presents a great challenge of developing software systems with increasing size and complexity. Software engineers and researchers are striving to meet these and other continuously growing challenges by developing and implementing useful software engineering methodologies. However, despite the introduction of some important and useful paradigms in the software engineering discipline, their technological transfers on a larger scale has been extremely gradual and limited. The recent emergence of the field of Computational Intelligence (CI) in Software Engineering provides a software development team with an opportunity by taking advantage of the currently developed, documented, and mature CI technologies such as fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, genetic and artificial intelligence based computational systems, expert knowledge based systems, and case based reasoning. These and other computational intelligence technologies have been used to resolve issues arising from the ever-increasing complexity and size of software systems. The aim and scope of this special issue is focused on the current research trends of introducing and implementing CI techniques to address the various software engineering needs arising during different phases of software development and analysis. This special issue is intended to serve as a comprehensive collection of some of the current state-of-the-art CI in software engineering technologies.

Tel: +1-561-297-3994 Fax: +1-561-297-2800 Email: taghi@cse.fau.edu Annals of Software Engineering imposes virtually no length limitation on the submitted papers. A paper's length is judged with respect to the quality of its content. Submitted papers must not have been previously published or be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers will be rigorously refereed. The complete manuscript in PDF or postscript format should be submitted to the editor on or before April 1, 2002. Submission Submission of a manuscript to the Annals of Software Engineering journal is a representation that the manuscript: (a) has not been previously published, (b) is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere, and (c) will not be submitted elsewhere until a decision is made regarding its suitability for publication in Annals of Software Engineering. Submission is also the representation that the work has been approved for open publication if performed under an official sponsorship requiring such an approval.
