The International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering is intended to serve as a forum for researchers, practitioners, and developers to exchange ideas and results for the advancement of software engineering and knowledge engineering. Three types of papers will be published:Research papers reporting original research resultsTechnology trend surveys reviewing an area of research in software engineering and knowledge engineeringSurvey articles surveying a broad area in software engineering and knowledge engineeringIn addition, tool reviews (no more than three manuscript pages) and book reviews (no more than two manuscript pages) are also welcome.A central theme of this journal is the interplay between software engineering and knowledge engineering: how knowledge engineering methods can be applied to software engineering, and vice versa. The journal publishes papers in the areas of software engineering methods and practices, object-oriented systems, rapid prototyping, software reuse, cleanroom software engineering, stepwise refinement/enhancement, formal methods of specification, ambiguity in software development, impact of CASE on software development life cycle, knowledge engineering methods and practices, logic programming, expert systems, knowledge-based systems, distributed knowledge-based systems, deductive database systems, knowledge representations, knowledge-based systems in language translation & processing, software and knowledge-ware maintenance, reverse engineering in software design, and applications in various domains of interest.

《國際軟件工程與知識工程雜志》旨在為研究人員、實踐者和開發人員提供一個論壇，以交流思想和成果，促進軟件工程與知識工程的發展。將出版三種類型的論文：報告原始研究結果的研究論文技術趨勢調查回顧了軟件工程和知識工程的一個研究領域軟件工程和知識工程領域的測量文章此外，工具評論（不超過三頁手稿）和書評（不超過兩頁手稿）也受歡迎。本雜志的中心主題是軟件工程和知識工程之間的相互作用：如何將知識工程方法應用于軟件工程，反之亦然。該雜志發表了軟件工程方法和實踐、面向對象系統、快速原型、軟件重用、潔凈室軟件工程、逐步改進/增強、規范的正式方法、軟件開發中的模糊性、案例對軟件開發生命周期的影響、知識引擎等領域的論文。ERING方法與實踐、邏輯編程、專家系統、知識系統、分布式知識系統、演繹數據庫系統、知識表示、語言翻譯與處理中的知識系統、軟件與知識軟件維護、軟件設計中的逆向工程，以及感興趣的各個領域的應用。
