IJIMAI 2011 - Focus on Computer Science and Software Engineering

Welcome to IJIMAI and thank you very much to my co-editors for allowing me to be here. I also want to thank our readers for the positive feedback we receive constantly.

Our readers to help us constantly to improve and model what is going to be IJIMAI in the future, they suggest turning IJIMAI in a magazine with abroad scope and a practical nature to show the applications of the newest interactive, multimedia and AI systems.
The new special issue is about software engineering. This knowledge area is growing every day and we consider it to show everyone the new researches that our writers are making on their research groups. Of course, we cannot forget the principal scope of the journal and therefore, we decide to include good quality articles which combine artificial intelligence and software engineering.

The journal "International Journal of Interactive Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence" is undergoing a profound process of improvement. There have been many achievements since the inception of the magazine, but the year 2011 has been particularly productive.

Some of the most important achievements we have made are, printed version of the magazine (published by the Pontifical University of Salamanca, Madrid campus); new international scientific committee members, all highly regarded professionals; large increase in the number of articles submitted for publication (we have multiplied by ten the number of items) and increase in the number of external references.

New arrangements for the publication of "Special Issues" for Congress International relevance, such as, RTBI WorkShop SAP – CHINA, Pervasive Multimedia Sensor Networks, IEEE - DCAI 2012: 5th International Symposium on Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence.
 
Additionally, it also increased the institutions that index the journal, such as, DOAJ - Directory of Open Access Journals, LatIndex, EBSCO Publishing, etc.
 
So this year 2012, we face the challenge of improving IJIMAI to achieve an increase in prestige, number of publications and readers. Again, welcome to all.
