Four new titles from Association for Computing Machinery

Business Publisher, May 1, 2007

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM; New York) will begin the publication of four new journals during the remainder of the year, including "ACM Journal of Data and Information Quality" (JDIQ), "Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage" (JOCCH), "Transactions on the Web" (TWEB) and "Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems" (TAAS). All four will be published quarterly.

The mission of "JDIQ" is to publish articles that contribute to the field of data and information quality, including information quality in the enterprise, new types of database systems, entity management, data integration, enterprise architecture deployment, data privacy, information curation, and the impact and role of information quality on groups, organizations and society.

"ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage" is designed to publish information in all areas related to the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in support of cultural heritage. Content includes coverage of such topics as on-site and remotely sensed data collection, metadata processing, intelligent tools for digital reconstruction, applications in such areas as education and tourism, provenance and copyright, and long-term preservation of digital artifacts.

Beginning this month, "TWEB" will report on the results of research on Web content, applications, use and related enabling technologies. It will cover browsers and Web interfaces, e-commerce, e-publishing, hypertext and hypermedia, semantic Web, Web engineering, XML and Web services.

Finally, "TAAS," launched late last year, addresses research on foundational, engineering, and technological aspects of computing systems exhibiting emergent and adaptive behavior. Content supports the understanding, development and control of such systems based on bio-inspired models, with additional information on complexity, self-adaptation, autonomic computing, multi-agent systems, and the macro-behavior of decentralized applications emerging from micro-behavior of its autonomous, possible mobile components.
