ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, has recently published the first issue of Proceedings of the ACM on Software Engineering (PACSME), a new Gold Open Access journal publishing top-quality, original research on all aspects of software engineering, from requirements elicitation to quality assessment, design, maintenance, evolution, and deployment. PACMSE covers a broad range of topics and methods that help conceive, create, and maintain better software be it embedded, cloud-based, mobile and ubiquitous, or runs on conventional computers.

ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, has recently published the first issue of Proceedings of the ACM on Software Engineering (PACSME), a new Gold Open Access journal publishing top-quality, original research on all aspects of software engineering, from requirements elicitation to quality assessment, design, maintenance, evolution, and deployment. PACMSE covers a broad range of topics and methods that help conceive, create, and maintain better software be it embedded, cloud-based, mobile and ubiquitous, or runs on conventional computers.
“The overarching goal of the new PACSME journal is to make high-quality peer-reviewed scientific research in software engineering free of restrictions on both access and use,” explained PACSME Editor-in-Chief Luciano Baresi, Professor, Politecnico di Milano. “We also want this journal to cover new ground in terms of what it offers the community. We welcome contributions to novel methodologies, tools, theories and models, as well as empirical studies and survey papers related to the wide spectrum of software engineering topics.”
PACSME operates in close collaboration with the ACM Special Interest Group on Software Engineering (SIGSOFT). Each issue of the journal comprises a curated selection of papers, which will be announced through publicized calls for papers.
In addition to EIC Baresi, the PACSME editorial team is drawn from countries around the world including Argentina, Canada, China, Greece, the Netherlands, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The editorial board also includes four Senior Editors, two Associate Editors, an Information Director, and an eight-person Advisory Board.
ACM publishes more than 70 scholarly peer-reviewed journals in dozens of computing and information technology disciplines. Available online, ACM’s high-impact journals constitute a vast and comprehensive archive of computing innovation, covering emerging and established computing research for both practical and theoretical applications. ACM journal editors are thought leaders in their fields, and ACM’s emphasis on rapid publication ensures minimal delay in communicating exciting new ideas and discoveries.
