The degree of complexity increasing nature of modern software systems lead the researchers to seek for better software engineering paradigms and we still have much to learn about the software engineering practices of different paradigms that can aid to improve the processes of specification, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) paradigm is an important among the various software engineering paradigms which composes the cognitive mechanism with the software engineering practices. Though this paradigm holds its potential status in the field of software engineering, more vitally, we still have a fragmented and limited knowledge on how AOSE principles and techniques can improve the software engineering practices in the software development point of view. In this context, one of the primary motivations of this special issue is to reveal the versatile research directions and outcomes in AOSE software engineering. The objectives of this special issue are to bring out the remarkable current developments in AOSE and the enhanced practices of researchers and practitioners to promote, advertise and share the knowledge related to the agent technology in the software engineering community.

 

This special issue is dedicated to cover a broad range of titles with all of them presenting original and innovative ideas on the Agent-Oriented Software Engineering paradigm.

 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following;

 

• AOSE Methods and Practices in SDLC phases
• AOSE Models and Standards
• Empirical Studies of AOSE
• Exception Handling Mechanisms in Agent Oriented Systems
• Metrics and Quality Models of AOSE
• Validation and Analysis of Agent Models
• Comparative Studies of AOSE Approaches
• Multi-Agent Systems
• Simulations and Developments of Agent Based Systems
• Tools Supported Agent Based Systems
• Qualitative and Quantitative Studies on AOSE Approaches
• Uncertainty Studies in AOSE Practices and Systems
• Agent Based Application Systems
• Other Related Titles

 

 

We welcome high quality research papers which must not have been published previously or be currently under consideration for publication in any other journals or conferences. Significant extensions to substantive research papers published in reputed conferences are also invited with a special note on contribution over the extension part. Research survey papers with superior quality are also invited.

 

Papers can be submitted through the online submission system (http://www.aicit.org/ijact/submission_select.html) or e-mailed to the guest editors at dhavachelvan@gmail.com and baskaran.ramachandran@gmail.com. Submissions must follow the journal guidelines (http://www.aicit.org/ijact) and the same should be conformed before its submission.

Special Issue Proposal for

International Journal of Advancements in Computing Technology

 

 

(1) Title for the Special Issue:

 

    Advanced Reliability Technology for Computer-based Systems

 

(2) The name of the conference/workshop and the URL of the event:

 

Special Session on Advanced Reliability Technology for Computer-based Systems, in conjunction with The 2010 International Conference on Advanced Science and Technology (AST 2010), June 23-25, 2010, Sheraton Grande Ocean Resort, Miyazaki, Japan.

 

Session Organizer/Guest Editor:

Tadashi Dohi, Professor, Hiroshima University, Japan

 

Conference Homepage: http://www.sersc.org/AST2010/

 

(3) Description of the topic area to be focused upon and justification:

 

During the last four decades, reliable/dependable computing research has provided a number of quantitative methods used for real computer-based systems. Since the quantitative assessment and its related topics are the main issues in the above research area, one needs to develop several kinds of mathematical models and techniques. Based on the success of the Special Session on Advanced Technologies for Software Reliability and Safety (ATSRS), in conjunction with 2009 International Conference on Advanced Software Engineering & Its Applications (ASEA 2009), December 10-12, 2009, Jeju Island, Korea, we would focus on the more general topics on Advanced Reliability Technology for Computer-based Systems, including both hardware and software systems. As a special session of the unique and interesting event, AST 2010, we aim to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the state of the art and the new challenges in reliable/dependable computing research, as well as providing a unique opportunity for establishing collaborations among several research groups interested in this research field. The topics of interests are given in the following:

    - Hardware and software reliability

    - Experimental and measurement techniques in reliability/maintenance

    - Modeling and analysis for reliability/maintenance

    - Implementation of reliability/maintainability assessment tool

    - Statistical prediction and estimation methods in reliability/maintenance

    - Novel applications for reliability/maintenance technologies

    - Measurement of reliability/maintenance-related metrics

    - Control of reliability/maintenance effects

    - Analysis of real case studies

 

(3) Review process for the selection and rejection of papers:

 

The conference papers will be reviewed by two referees and the accepted papers there will be included in the conference (AST 2010) proceedings published from a series of Springer LNCS/CCIS series. The authors with accepted papers are invited to extend their papers for the submission to the special issue, where the drastic changes/modifications/extensions will be requested to overcome the copyright problem. The submitted papers to the journal special issue are sent to further review by additionally two referees.

 

 

(4) Tentative time-table for the paper submission, review and notification:

 

    Papers due of the journal special issue: July 10, 2010

    Completion of the first round of review: September 30, 2010

    Notification of acceptance in the journal special issue: November 14, 2010
