Just a reminder about the IEEE Internet Computing (IC) call for papers on asynchronous middleware and services that Doug Lea, Werner Vogels, and I are running. The due date is June 1.
In general, IC is always looking for good articles on the general topic of, well, internet computing. The current issue, for example, contains articles on
- replication for content management environments
- e-services infrastructure for power distribution
- moving from business to technology with service-based processes
- secure electronic data exchange over the internet
- how BPEL and SOA are changing web services development
- multiprotocol label switching and IP
In terms of journal citation reports, IC has one of the highest citation impact factors among all computer science and software engineering journals and magazines. In the 2003 citation report, for example, IC was ranked second in impact factor. In contrast, IEEE Computer was 13th, Communications of the ACM was ranked 14th, and IEEE Software was ranked 20th. What this means is that if you publish in IC, your article is very likely to be noticed and subsequently cited in other important works. Way more people will read your article in IC than if it's published in any conference proceedings. Also, the IC editorial staff is amazingly good, so your published article will be polished and will read extremely well.
