The International Journal of Patterns (http://www.ijsr.org) is looking forward to e-publish papers on the theory, practice, and teaching of software patterns, topology of patterns, knowledge maps or traditional & stable pattern languages, research on patterns and pattern languages, critiques of patterns and pattern languages, traditional and stable analysis, design, architectural patterns, the building systems of patterns, case studies and experience reports of the utilization of patterns and pattern languages spanning over any domain of knowledge, and any of the topics in the keywords at: http://www.ijsr.org/keywords  To be responsive to the changing needs of software reuse research communities, IJSR maintains a flexible keyword system that allows the addition of new keyword groups and areas periodically.  This journal is specially, devoted to the documentation, evaluation, and assessment of the topology of reuse patterns.  The International Journal of Software Reuse (IJSR) is an on-line, peer-reviewed publication, published four times in the year by vrlSoft, Inc. This e journal is designed specially for the use of software reuse experts, software engineering researchers, practitioners, educators, software developers, and engine and framework developers in the field of software reuse.

Software reuse is immensely useful for sharing design experience in the analysis, design, or architectures of any domain knowledge, and also for reuse knowledge and software developments’ artifacts in as many business domains as possible. The important mission of IJSR is to provide its readers with timely, qualitative, well-written, and interesting state-of-the-art papers and special features (columns, book reviews, software reviews) that deal with every aspect of software reuse, both theoretical and practical in nature. Topics in the e journal will include many topics that can be found in the IJSR Keywords at http://www.ijsr.org/keywords. The columns, both guest and regular, will be written and composed by recognized specialists and experts in the field of software reuse.  The IJSR will be a quarterly journal.

We invite you to submit your papers to IJSR – www.ijsr.org. Please check the IJSR Editorial Charter at http://www.ijsr.org/editorial-charter and submit the complete  manuscript through our submission and review  system

 http://www.ijsr.org/paper/index.html

IJSR focus is improving the state of software reuse. You will have the opportunity to refine and extend your patterns with help from knowledgeable and supportive fellow software reuse enthusiasts and experienced editorial and domain expert boards’ members.

In addition to intensive and iterative papers’ reviews, submitters and subscribers will have many opportunities to discuss many aspects of software reuse through our discussion group at http://www.ijsr.org/en/forum.html

The papers submitted for review should be between 10-15 pages long (around 5,000 to 6,000 words). Since the paper size is relatively small we encourage authors to submit supplement materials, such as documentation and detailed implementation of their patterns. All submissions should identify a principal contact author by e-mail address and/or fax and/or telephone number and postal address.

We understand how much effort goes into creating papers and accordingly, we aim at  a careful,  fair  treatment  of  all papers. All of us are committed to doing everything to satisfy our authors' expectations!  We will work very closely with authors to get their papers to the right quality, shape, and form to be published in IJSR.

Important Due Dates

• Paper Submissions                                Anytime, Open Date
• Notification of acceptance                       6-8 weeks from the paper submission date
• Iteration and working with authors            As long as it takes
• Final Notification of Acceptance  One week after finalizing the iteration
• Camera Ready                                       Due within 10 days of final notification

We look forward to receiving your papers.  Ideas and proposals for theme issues are also welcome.  Authors of accepted papers will be expected to sign an IJSR copyright transfer form. http://www.ijsr.org/copyright_transfer.pdf
