GeoInformatica is located at the confluence of two rapidly advancing domains: Computer Science and Geographic Information Science; nowadays, Earth studies use more and more sophisticated computing theory and tools, and computer processing of Earth observations through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) attracts a great deal of attention from governmental, industrial and research worlds. This journal aims to promote the most innovative results coming from the research in the field of computer science applied to geographic information systems. Thus, GeoInformatica provides an effective forum for disseminating original and fundamental research and experience in the rapidly advancing area of the use of computer science for spatial studies.

Good medicine and good healthcare demand good information. Since the journal's founding in 1962, Methods of Information in Medicine has stressed the methodology and scientific fundamentals of organizing, representing and analyzing data, information and knowledge in biomedicine and health care. Covering publications in the fields of biomedical and health informatics, medical biometry, and epidemiology, the journal publishes original papers, reviews, reports, opinion papers, editorials, and letters to the editor. From time to time, the journal publishes articles on particular focus themes as part of a journal's issue.

INFOR: Information Systems and Operational Research is published and sponsored by the Canadian Operational Research Society. It provides its readers with papers on a powerful combination of subjects: Information Systems and Operational Research. The importance of combining IS and OR in one journal is that both aim to expand quantitative scientific approaches to management. With this integration, the theory, methodology, and practice of OR and IS are thoroughly examined. INFOR is available in print and online.

International Journal of Computers Communications & Control is directed to the international communities of scientific researchers in computers, communications and control, from the universities, research units and industry. To differentiate from other similar journals, the editorial policy of IJCCC encourages the submission of original scientific papers that focus on the integration of the 3 "C" (Computing, Communications, Control). In particular, the following topics are expected to be addressed by authors: (1) Integrated solutions in computer-based control and communications; (2) Computational intelligence methods & Soft computing (with particular emphasis on fuzzy logic-based methods, computing with words, ANN, evolutionary computing, collective/swarm intelligence); (3) Advanced decision support systems (with particular emphasis on the usage of combined solvers and/or web technologies).

The aim of the Journal is to promote interdisciplinary research in mathematics, physics, engineering and life sciences centered around the issues of broadly understood information processing, storage and transmission, in both quantum and classical settings. Our special interest lies in the information-theoretic approach to phenomena dealing with dynamics and thermodynamics, control, communication, filtering, memory and cooperative behaviour, etc., in open complex systems.

Acta Informatica provides international dissemination of articles on formal methods for the design and analysis of programs, computing systems and information structures, as well as related fields of Theoretical Computer Science such as Automata Theory, Logic in Computer Science, and Algorithmics. Topics of interest include: • semantics of programming languages • models and modeling languages for concurrent, distributed, reactive and mobile systems • models and modeling languages for timed, hybrid and probabilistic systems • specification, program analysis and verification • model checking and theorem proving • modal, temporal, first- and higher-order logics, and their variants • constraint logic, SAT/SMT-solving techniques • theoretical aspects of databases, semi-structured data and finite model theory • theoretical aspects of artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, description logic • automata theory, formal languages, term and graph rewriting • game-based models, synthesis • type theory, typed calculi • algebraic, coalgebraic and categorical methods • formal aspects of performance, dependability and reliability analysis • foundations of information and network security • parallel, distributed and randomized algorithms • design and analysis of algorithms • foundations of network and communication protocols.

The paradigm for the next generation of information systems (ISs) will involve large numbers of ISs distributed over large, complex computer/communication networks. Such ISs will manage or have access to large amounts of information and computing services and will interoperate as required. These support individual or collaborative human work. Communication among component systems will be done using protocols that range from conventional ones to those based on distributed AI. We call such next generation ISs Cooperative Information Systems (CIS). The International Journal of Cooperative Information Systems (IJCIS) addresses the intricacies of cooperative work in the framework of distributed interoperable information systems. It provides a forum for the presentation and dissemination of research covering all aspects of CIS design, requirements, functionality, implementation, deployment, and evolution.

The Journal of Information Science and Engineering is dedicated to the dissemination of information on computer science, computer engineering, and computer systems. This journal encourages articles on original research in the areas of computer hardware, software, man-machine interface, theory and applications. tutorial papers in the above-mentioned areas, and state-of-the-art papers on various aspects of computer systems and applications.

Information Processing Letters invites submission of original research articles that focus on fundamental aspects of information processing and computing. This naturally includes work in the broadly understood field of theoretical computer science; although papers in all areas of scientific inquiry will be given consideration, provided that they describe research contributions credibly motivated by applications to computing and involve rigorous methodology. High quality experimental papers that address topics of sufficiently broad interest may also be considered. Since its inception in 1971, Information Processing Letters has served as a forum for timely dissemination of short, concise and focused research contributions. Continuing with this tradition, and to expedite the reviewing process, manuscripts are generally limited in length to nine pages when they appear in print.

The journal publishes original research papers of high scientific level in the area of theoretical computer science and its applications. Theoretical computer science is understood in its broadest sense and comprises in particular the following areas: automata and formal languages, game theory, rewriting systems, design and analysis of algorithms, complexity theory, quantum computation, concurrent, distributed, parallel computations, verification of programs, “logic” and compilers, computational geometry and graphics on computers, cryptography, combinatorics on words. This list is not supposed to be exhaustive and the editorial board will promote new fields of research that will be worked out in the future.
