Software Practice and Experience

期刊简介：Software: Practice and Experience is an internationally respected and rigorously refereed vehicle for the dissemination and discussion of practical experience with new and established software for both systems and applications.Articles published in the journal must be directly relevant to the design and implementation of software at all levels, from a useful programming technique all the way up to a large scale software system. As the journal’s name suggests, the focus is on practice and experience with software itself. The journal cannot and does not attempt to cover all aspects of software engineering.The key criterion for publication of a paper is that it makes a contribution from which other persons engaged in software design and implementation might benefit. Originality is also important. Exceptions can be made, however, for cases where apparently well-known techniques do not appear in the readily available literature.Contributions regularly:Provide detailed accounts of completed software-system projects which can serve as ‘how-to-do-it’ models for future work in the same field;Present short reports on programming techniques that can be used in a wide variety of areas;Document new techniques and tools that aid in solving software construction problems;Explain methods/techniques that cope with the special demands of large-scale software projects. However, software process and management of software projects are topics deemed to be outside the journal’s scope.The emphasis is always on practical experience; articles with theoretical or mathematical content are included only in cases where an understanding of the theory will lead to better practical systems.If it is unclear whether a manuscript is appropriate for publication in this journal, the list of referenced publications will usually provide a strong indication. When there are no references to Software: Practice and Experience papers (or to papers in a journal with a similar scope such as JSS), it is quite likely that the manuscript is not suited for this journal. Additionally, one of the journal’s editors can be contacted for advice on the suitability of a particular topic.

【译文】软件：实践与经验是一本在国际上受到尊重且经过严格评审的期刊，用于传播和讨论与系统和应用软件的新旧版本相关的实践经验。该期刊发表的文章必须与所有层次的软件设计和实现直接相关，从有用的编程技术到大型软件系统。正如期刊的名称所暗示的，重点是软件本身的实践和经验。该期刊不能也不试图涵盖软件工程的各个方面。论文发表的关键标准是它能为从事软件设计和实施的其他人带来益处。原创性也很重要。然而，对于在现有文献中未出现的技术，可以做出例外。贡献通常包括：提供详细的已完成软件系统项目的描述，可以作为同一领域未来工作的‘如何做’模型；展示可用于广泛领域的编程技术简报；记录有助于解决软件构造问题的新的技术和工具；解释处理大型软件项目特殊需求的方法/技术。然而，软件过程和软件项目管理被认为是该期刊范围之外的主题。始终强调实践经验；只有当对理论的理解将导致更好的实际系统时，才包括具有理论或数学内容的文章。如果不确定手稿是否适合在本期刊发表，参考出版物列表通常会提供强烈的指示。当没有引用《软件：实践与经验》论文（或类似范围的期刊，如JSS）时，手稿很可能不适合本期刊。此外，可以联系期刊的编辑就特定主题的适用性寻求建议。
