About Special Issue
Software Engineering had very interesting role to play in almost all sectors owing to the
dependencies on software used for automation. Any sector whether it’s being medicine,
education, engineering etc, wants timely, less costly and innovative software that fulfils their
needs and expectations. It calls for improving the Software Engineering Practices so as to
deliver high quality software that may benefit the sectors enjoying the feeling of automation.
This special issue invites original submissions that present innovative methods, tools and
techniques that result in improvements in SE practices. Papers reporting the experiences,
transitions from different practices, are also welcome.

Notes for Prospective Authors
Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under
consideration for publication elsewhere. In case submitted paper is extension of earlier
published paper, taking the permissions from any copyright holders of the original paper lies
with the authors. Such paper must have at least 50% additional research content. Please
follow the detailed notes to authors on journal home page (http://serialsjournals.com/journaldetail.php?journals_id=181).
All papers must be submitted to varun13_cse@yahoo.co.in
Special about review Process
All papers are refereed through a double blind peer review process. The review time is
tentative 1 month after editorial acceptance. However review time may take longer time. The
papers rejected from the reputed journals on grounds of parameters like out of scope, inability
of authors to pay huge fees etc, must submit the details of journal and review reports. The
journal will then ask the corresponding journal to verify the reports. If another journal
cooperates in the process, the reports will then be analyzed by editor or any of his nominee. If
the Editor or any of his nominees establishes that paper is of high standards then papers will
be accepted without any further review. The decision of editor in this case will be final. In
such cases, the authors will get decision early without any requirement for double blind peer
review process. The time taken will depend on time taken for verification by another journal
and review of reports (or paper as the case may be) by editor or his nominee.
Deadlines
Under this category, the submission will undergo through the following stages:
1. Editorial Screening: 5 Days
2. Double Blind Peer Review Process: 1 Months
3. Publication: As per Serial Publisher Schedule.
Important Dates
Submission of manuscripts Ends: 30 December, 2014
Notification to authors: (Editorial): Within 5 days, Review: Within 1 Months.
Final Decision (In case of papers requiring modification): May 2015.
