About the Journal
The Computer Journal is one of the longest-established journals serving all branches of the academic computer science community. It is currently published in four sections:
Section A: Computer Science, Methods and Tools publishes high quality research papers, review articles and special issues in all computer science topics other than those covered in Section B. Topics for inclusion in Section A may include areas such as theory, algorithms, software engineering, data structures, and complexity.
Section B: Networks and Computer Systems focuses on the latest ideas and research in computer systems and networks. This section is for researchers involved in the latest developments in topics such as architectures, mobile and wireless computing, network protocols, security, reliability and performance optimisation. In addition to research papers, this section will also publish commissioned reviews and special issues.
Section C: Computational Intelligence builds builds on artificial intelligence, robotics and machine intelligence to develop smart methods and tools that solve challenging problems in areas such as data mining, image processing, knowledge-based systems and the semantic web.
A fourth section, launched in 2011, is:
Section D: Security in Computer Systems and Networks
The Editors of the Journal welcome ideas for reviews and special issues for any section.
