   IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics Part C -   
   Applications and Reviews   
      
   Special issue on Semantics-enabled Software Engineering   
      
   SCOPE - With the prevalence of semantic technologies and the emergence   
   of a   
   networked environment on the Web, which is becoming a focal center of   
   attention for knowledge sharing and process execution, software   
   research and   
   practice would need to move towards adaptability with these emerging   
   technologies. Semantic technologies can play a major role in enhancing   
   the   
   reusability and extensibility of software systems, supporting   
   improvements   
   in quality assurance and measurement, speeding software development   
   through   
   semantic-aware component-based systems and commercially off the shelf   
   products (COTS), and many other areas. Software engineering research   
   can   
   hence highly benefit from semantic techniques. We solicit high-quality   
   contributions with consolidated and thoroughly evaluated application-   
   oriented research results or review articles in the area of   
   semantic enabled software.   
      
   SUGGESTED TOPICS:   
      
       * Visions for semantic-based software development   
       * Integration of software and Semantic Web languages   
       * Integration of formal methods and Semantic Web languages   
       * Software specification and Semantic Web languages   
       * Component discovery and ontologies   
       * Feature modeling and ontologies

       * Semantic technologies in software maintenance tools   
       * Semantic business process modeling   
       * Semantic Web and software architectures
