About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Serdica Journal of Computing publishes original research and review articles in all major areas of computing. The journal is a valuable scientific forum, especially for senior and young researchers, and doctoral candidates in computer science, information and communication technology, knowledge processing technology and innovative applications of science. It offers high-impact articles by authors from Bulgaria and abroad. An essential journal goal is to popularise the scientific achievements of young researchers beginning a career in the domain of computer science.

The journal is a partner publication of Serdica Mathematical Journal and aims for the same high professional standard. To this end, the editorial board includes eminent experts on a wide range of theoretical and practical areas of computer science and related fields. Among the members of the editorial board are professors at prestigious universities such as the University of Tel Aviv, the University of Maryland (USA), the Institute of Computing Research and Alfred Rényi Mathematical Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the State University of Columbia, Kettering University (USA), and others. This ensures that all papers published in Serdica Journal of Computing are of the highest international standard and in line with the developments and achievements in various aspects of computing worldwide.

The manuscripts should contain only unpublished data in the respective scientific field. They can further be expanded to be published elsewhere.

The journal is published both electronically and in printed form.
