Published since 2002, the Journal of Object Technology welcomes manuscripts describing theoretical, empirical, conceptual, and experimental results in the area of software and language engineering, including
- programming paradigms
- software language engineering
- model-based and model-driven engineering
- requirement engineering
- software architecture
- software validation & verification
- software maintenance and evolution
- software analytics
- software development process and methodology
Submitted works will be assessed primarily on originality, significance, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Contributions should conform to generally accepted practices for scientific papers with respect to organization, clarity, and style.
Besides technical contributions, JOT solicits papers about software tools and environments.
