Hauptaufgabe dieser Zeitschrift ist die Publikation aktueller, praktisch verwertbarer Informationen über technische und wissenschaftliche Fortschritte aus allen Bereichen der Informatik und ihrer Anwendungen in Form von Übersichtsartikeln und einführenden Darstellungen sowie Berichten über Projekte und Fallstudien, die zukünftige Trends aufzeigen. Es sollen damit jene Leser angesprochen werden, die sich in neue Sachgebiete der Informatik einarbeiten, sich weiterbilden, sich einen Überblick verschaffen wollen. Damit kommen als Zielgruppe nicht nur ausgebildete Informatikspezialisten in Betracht, sondern auch Praktiker, die neben ihrer Tagesarbeit die wissenschaftliche Entwicklung der Informatik verfolgen, und Studierende an Fachhochschulen oder Universitäten, die sich Einblick in Aufgaben und Probleme der Praxis verschaffen möchten. Durch Auswahl der Autoren und der Themen sowie durch Einflussnahme auf Inhalt und Darstellung - die Beiträge werden von mehreren Herausgebern referiert - soll erreicht werden, dass möglichst jeder Beitrag dem größten Teil der Leser verständlich und lesenswert erscheint. So soll diese Zeitschrift das gesamte Spektrum der Informatik umfassen, aber nicht in getrennte Sparten mit verschiedenen Leserkreisen zerfallen. Da die Informatik eine sich auch weiterhin stark entwickelnde anwendungsorientierte Wissenschaft ist, die ihre eigenen wissenschaftlichen und theoretischen Grundlagen zu einem großen Teil selbst entwickeln muss, will die Zeitschrift sich an den Problemen der Praxis orientieren, ohne die Aufgabe zu vergessen, ein solides wissenschaftliches Fundament zu erarbeiten. Zur Anwendungsorientierung gehört auch die Beschäftigung mit den Problemen der Auswirkung der Informatikanwendungen auf den Einzelnen, den Staat und die Gesellschaft sowie mit Fragen der Informatik-Berufe einschließlich der Ausbildungsrichtlinien und der Bedarfsschätzungen., .
The Journal of Information Retrieval is an international forum for theory, algorithms, and experiments that concern search and storage of text, images, video, and other such data. Research results published in the journal typically address the problems that arise for user-oriented tasks where the meaning as well as the explicit content of the data is of interest. Information Retrieval features theoretical, experimental and applied papers. Theoretical papers report a significant conceptual advance in the design of algorithms or other processes for some information retrieval task. Experimental papers detail a test of one or more theoretical ideas in a laboratory or natural setting. Application papers cover successful application of some already established technique to a significant real world problem involving information retrieval. Information retrieval overlaps with a variety of technical and behavioral fields. As a result, the journal includes papers which unify concepts across several traditional disciplin

Information Technology &Tourism (ITT) is the first scientific interdisciplinary journal focusing on the nature and role of information technology within the context of tourism, travel and hospitality. Information and communication systems embedded in a global net have had a profound influence on these industries, as also these industries with their presence in the electronic market show an impact on the developments of IT. Advances in the use and development of tools, technologies, and methodologies that have facilitated the efficient netting of information and communication systems in tourism, travel and hospitality are to be presented and discussed within this journal.Information Technology & Tourism aims primarily to contribute to the process of theory building, and hence to the advancement of research and scholarship in this growing field. As an interdisciplinary journal, it supports industry-oriented research as well as academic theory focused research. ITT will feature both empirical case studies and technical-theoretical papers looking at tourism-travel-hospitality from an IT point of view and at IT from an applied perspective. The journal contains research papers, state-of-the-art reviews, research notes, and analyses of business practice. It is also intended to include papers relevant to the industry in different national contexts.All manuscripts published in the journal are double-blind peer-reviewed. The standard for publication inInformation Technology & Tourism is that a paper must make a substantive contribution to the understanding of the nature and/or role of technology within the context of tourism and hospitality.
Information Technology and Management explores the many different technologies inherent in the field of information technology and their impact on information systems design, functionality, operations, and management. The journal takes a broad view of information systems as systems that not only include machines but human beings as well. As a result, the journal is an important outlet for studies concerning the man/machine interface, human factors, and organizational issues. Moreover, the journal explores the managerial issues and the strategic issues that arise from the management of information technology.Officially cited as: Inf Technol Manag

Inland Water Biology is the only journal covering fundamental research into all trophic levels of aquatic organisms: from viruses to fishes and aquatic mammals. These results are useful in comparative analysis of ecosystem function in different Earth regions. Contents include the appearance and development of a biota in newly created manmade water reservoirs; the impact of zoogenic factors on the structure and functioning of aquatic ecosystems; and the role of small rivers in forming hydrobiological characteristics of recipient water reservoirs, and faunogenesis. Inland Water Biology benefits researchers studying all life forms in lakes, dam ponds and reservoirs, ponds, inner seas and rivers. It will also interest environmental officials and regulators, and graduate and post-graduate students in biology, ecology and geography. The journal partners with academics conducting research in its topical areas, and managers designing and supervising protection and rational use of water resources.
