ACM publishes the first issue of Proceedings of t

ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, recently published the first issue Proceedings of the ACM Conference on Software Engineering (PACSME), a new Gold Open Access journal publishing the highest quality, original research on all aspects of software engineering, from requirements elicitation to quality assessment, design, maintenance, evolution, and implementation. PACMSE covers a wide range of topics and methods that help design, build, and maintain better software, whether embedded, cloud-based, mobile, and ubiquitous, or running on conventional computers.

“The overarching goal of the new PACSME journal is to make high-quality, peer-reviewed research in software engineering accessible without restrictions on access or use,” explained PACSME Editor-in-Chief Luciano Baresi, a professor at Politecnico di Milano. “We also want the journal to cover new ground in terms of what it offers to the community. We welcome contributions with new methodologies, tools, theories and models, as well as empirical studies and review papers related to a wide range of software engineering topics.”

PACSME works in close collaboration with the ACM Special Interest Group on Software Engineering (SIGSOFT). Each issue of the journal contains carefully selected articles that will be announced through public calls for papers.

In addition to EIC Baresi, the PACSME editorial team is composed of people from around the world, including Argentina, Canada, China, Greece, the Netherlands, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The editorial board also includes four senior editors, two associate editors, a chief information officer, and an eight-person advisory board.

ACM publishes more than 70 peer-reviewed journals in dozens of disciplines in computer science and information technology. Available online, ACM’s high-impact journals provide a vast and comprehensive archive of computer innovation, encompassing emerging and established computer research with both practical and theoretical applications. ACM journal editors are thought leaders in their fields, and ACM’s emphasis on rapid publication ensures minimal delay in communicating exciting new ideas and discoveries.
