Scope:
The area of interest of this journal centres on the integration of processing, storage and communication subsystems within a distributed or networked system. The emphasis will be on distributed rather than parallel processing and on practical engineering papers rather than theoretical approaches. We particularly welcome papers from industry and those which are based on implementation experience.
Distributed Processing
Architecture; distributed operating systems and environments; standards and open distributed processing (ODP); configuration and management of distributed systems; language support; algorithms and protocols
Computer Networks
Local, metropolitan and wide area networks; network architectures and protocols; network management; communications and network standards; open networking and open systems interconnection (OSI); multiservice networks
Storage and Databases
Data modelling; distributed data bases; distributed transaction processing; information retrieval and transformation; object stores; information and file servers; hypermedia systems
Information Systems & Applications
Distributed multimedia systems; advanced home, business and industrial systems; computer support for cooperative work; distributed programming support environments; user interface design
These four main areas would be linked by consideration of system dependability, fault tolerance, security, performance engineering, timeliness or other architectural issues.

Brief Guide for Authors
Contributions will be considered for publication in Distributed Systems Engineering Journal if they have not been published previously and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. They must be in English and should typically be 5000-6000 words in length.
The title page must include:
Details of format for final submission will be provided for accepted papers. Authors who require more detail on presentation and style should consult the booklet Notes for Authors, obtainable free of charge from IOP Publishing at the address below or from the IEE.
Acceptance of papers for publication is subject to a peer review procedur and may be conditional on revisions being made in the light of comments from referees. However authors are solely responsible for the accuracy of statements in a paper
There are no page charges, and 50 offprints of each article published will be supplied free of charge to the principal author.
Colour reproduction of illustrations is available but authors or their institutions are asked to pay the additional costs incurred over and above normal black on white reproduction. Authors requiring further advice are invited to contact: the Production Manager, IOP Publishing Ltd, at the address below.
Articles Submitted in Electronic Format
Final versions of articles can be submitted in Electronic format on IBM PC compatible or Macintosh Discs. The publishers can accept TEX source code. Authors who intend to submit final version in electronic format should still provide hard-copy versions for refereeing as normal.
