GENERAL INFORMATION, EDITORIAL BOARDS, PUBLISHING COUNCIL

Informatica is a journal concerned with scientific and educational
as well as technical, commercial and industrial developments in the
European computer science and informatics community. Its basic aim
is to enhance communication among European and world-wide
communities, organizations, etc. on the basis of equal rights and
international refereeing.

It publishes research papers which have been accepted by at least
two referees outside the author's country. In addition, it contains
information about conferences, opinions, critical examinations of
existing publications and news. Finally, major practical
achievements and innovations in the computer and information
industry are presented through commercial publications as well as
through independent evaluations.

Editing and refereeing are distributed. Each editor can conduct the
refereeing process by appointing two new referees. Referees should
not be from the author's country. If new referees are appointed,
their names will appear at the last page of Informatica. Each paper
bears the name of the editor who appointed the referees. Each editor
can propose new members for the Editorial Board. Editors and
referees inactive for a longer period can be automatically replaced.
Changes in the Editorial Board are confirmed by the Executive
Editors. 

The coordination necessary is made through the Executive Editors who
examine the reviews, sort the accepted articles and maintain
appropriate international distribution. The Executive Board is
appointed by the Society Informatika. Informatica is partially
supported by the Slovenian Ministry of Science and Technology. 

Each author is guaranteed to receive the reviews of his article.
When accepted, publication in Informatica is guaranteed in less than
one year after the Executive Editors receive the corrected version
of the article.
