ACM Transactions on Information Systems ISSN:1046-8188 | eISSN:1558-2868 The ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS) publishes papers on information retrieval (such as search engines, recommender systems) that contain: new principled information retrieval models or algorithms with sound empirical validation; observational, experimental and/or theoretical studies yielding new insights into information retrieval or information seeking; and more.
Algorithmica ISSN: 0178-4617 | eISSN: 1432-0541 Algorithmica is an international journal which publishes theoretical papers on algorithms that address problems arising in practical areas, and experimental papers of general appeal for practical importance or techniques. Founded in 1986, it is the longest running journal dedicated to the study of algorithms, and continues to be a leading publication in the field. The development of algorithms is an integral part of computer science. The increasing complexity and scope of computer applications makes the design of efficient algorithms essential.
Empirical Software Engineering ISSN: 1382-3256 | eISSN: 1573-7616 Empirical Software Engineering provides a forum for applied software engineering research with a strong empirical component, and a venue for publishing empirical results relevant to both researchers and practitioners. Empirical studies presented here usually involve the collection and analysis of data and experience that can be used to characterize, evaluate and reveal relationships between software development deliverables, practices, and technologies. Over time, it is expected that such empirical results will form a body of knowledge leading to widely accepted and well-formed theories.
IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering ISSn: 0098-5589 | eISSN: 1939-3520 IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering is interested in well-defined theoretical results and empirical studies that have potential impact on the construction, analysis, or management of software.
