Informatica (Print ISSN 0350-5596, Online ISSN 1854-3871) is an international, peer-reviewed journal with its base in Europe. It publishes original research in computer science, informatics, and related cognitive and human-centered computing, with particular strength in intelligent systems, machine learning, and software and information systems.

Aims

The journal aims to disseminate high-quality, original contributions in computing and informatics—including telecommunications, automation, and related areas—and to serve researchers and practitioners interested in scientific and educational as well as technical and applied developments in the field.

Scope

We welcome manuscripts that advance the theory, methods, systems, or evaluation of computing and informatics, especially work connected to intelligent systems, data-driven methods, and software. Topics include (but are not limited to):

• Artificial intelligence & intelligent systems: machine learning, knowledge-based systems, reasoning, data mining, natural language processing, computer vision, hybrid approaches
• Software & information systems: software engineering, system architectures, programming methodologies, data management, information retrieval, knowledge/information systems
• Networks, communication & automation: telecommunication systems, distributed and cloud/edge computing, automation and intelligent control, IoT and cyber-physical applications
• Security & trustworthy computing: cybersecurity, privacy, secure systems, threat modeling, trustworthy/robust ML
• Human- and cognition-related computing: cognitive aspects of computing, human-centered and interactive systems, computational approaches linked to cognitive science

Submissions should present a clear contribution (conceptual, methodological, and/or empirical) and provide sufficient technical detail to support rigorous assessment and reuse by the research community.

Article types

Informatica publishes several peer-reviewed article categories, including:

• Research / Regular articles reporting novel scientific contributions
• Technical papers reporting novel research results or technical advances
• Overview / Survey papers synthesizing a subarea of computing or information science
• Position papers presenting a well-argued scientific perspective
• PhD thesis summaries (short presentations of recent doctoral work)
• Student papers (typically mentored submissions)

Peer review: Research articles are evaluated by external reviewers using a double-blind process (see Publication Timeline & Review).
