Aims and Scope of the Journal

The Journal of Computing and e-Systems is a refereed, semi-annual journal that serves the need for intelligent computing and bridging theoretical and applied e-Systems research that benefits both academics and information technology professionals.

The intention of the Journal of Computing and e-Systems is to help the local and global business communities to efficiently exploit IT towards the creation of business value in e-Systems. The journal welcomes all types of applied research studies in global computing that add value to e-systems owners, customers, developers, and evaluators. That is, intelligent computing, applied studies in IT, online business technologies, and Internet security are particularly sought.

Theoretical topics include:
• Computational intelligence
• Data mining
• e-Business intelligence
• Fuzzy set theory
• Expert systems
• Genetic computing
• Neural computing
• Multiple agent theory
• Dempster-Shafer theory
• Uncertainty management

Applied topics include:
• e-Systems analysis & design
• e-Systems application development
• e-Systems process modeling
• e-Systems security
• e-Government
• e-Learning

Relevant manuscripts from the field of IT, not in the areas of the e-Systems are also considered if they bear implications for the creation of business value in e-systems.

The audience of the Journal is members of the local and global business communities, researchers, students, and industrial practitioners doing global computing.

Preparation of a manuscript submission

One copy of the manuscript should be sent by email to the Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Sohail Chaudhry, at sohail.chaudhry@villanova.edu. A second copy should be sent to the journal editing manager, Dr. Emilio Collar, Jr. at collarjr@snet.net.

All manuscripts should be in MS Word, leaving 1” margins on all sides. Please single space all materials, including footnotes and references. Number pages consecutively with the first page containing the title, the authors, the affiliations, a short abstract (between 150 and 300 words), and 5 to 10 key words.

It is important that your abstract and key words are as most informative as possible since they are used in identifying appropriate reviewers for your manuscript.

Exclusivity of submission

The first page of the manuscript should include the statement “This manuscript has not been submitted elsewhere in identical or similar form, nor will it be during the first 6 months after its submission to the Journal of e-Business and Information Technology.”

Illustrations

Only clear reproductions of artwork should be submitted. Authors should keep original artwork until the manuscript is accepted. All figures should be in a form suitable for reproduction.

Each figure and table must be mentioned in the text and numbered consecutively using Arabic numbers in the order of appearance in the text. For the initial submission of the manuscript, the figures and tables should be integrated into the text as much as possible, rather than being inserted at the end of the manuscript.
