Information about special sections
In SoSyM we publish special sections as part of the regular printed
issues. Therefore we usually use the wording "special section" instead
of "special issue". Our policy is that we prepare special sections from
highly innovative conferences and workshops in the modeling area. The
conference organisers select the best papers and invite the authors to
submit an extended and substantially enhanced version of their paper
within a certain deadline. Under the supervision of the section editors
the papers will be reviewed again and the accepted papers will then be
published in a special section.
Requirements:
- Proposal submissions for a SoSyM special section should
have at least one section editor who has demonstrated
connections to the software and systems modeling community,
either through participation in the MODELS conference or
SoSyM itself (as an author or reviewer).
- The section editors, their relatives, and their current
research collaborators must not submit papers to be
published in the section section.
If you are interested in editing a special section for
the SoSyM journal, please contact the Editors-in-Chief (contact and process see below).

Submission/Review Process for Special Sections:
- Interested program committee chairs submit a SoSyM Special Section
proposal, containing information about the conference and its review
process, (e.g. acceptance rate, total number of papers), the number of
potential papers, some example titles and authors, short vitas of the
authors, a proposed schedule and other helpful information.
Provided documents:
- Papers accepted to the conference (or workshop) must have been
through a thorough review process prior to their acceptance.
- After the conference, the program committee chair and program
committee decide which papers to select as candidates for the special
section.
- Deadlines are defined. A useful pattern is given below, in weeks:
x-28 |
Authors of the best papers of the the conference (or workshop)
are invited to submit an extended version of their paper to
the SoSyM special section.
|
x-19 |
Papers are submitted to SoSyM via Manuscript Central.
The paper type is 'Special Section Paper' and the
Editor-in-Chief (EIC) is Bernhard Rumpe. Authors also
note that the paper is being submitted to the particular
special section in their cover letter. Beforehand a
complete list of titles and authors of all expected
papers is sent to the EIC.
|
x-18 |
Reviews are assigned by Program Committee Chair (who
serves as editor of the special section), via Manuscript
Central (necessary review time: 6-8 weeks including
potential delays).
|
x-10 |
Check status of reviews; reminders are sent if necessary
to the editors, who send them on to reviewers.
|
x-6 |
Reviews/acknowledgements are sent to authors by the
Editor-in-Chief.
|
x-2 |
Final versions arrive at SoSyM, via Manuscript
Central (usually only minor changes can be
handled in that time. Major revisions need
extra time for another round of reviews.)
|
x |
Editor or reviewers re-review minor changes
and editor gives approval. Usually another
full review cycle for major revisions has
to be started.
|
- Authors of the best papers of the the conference (or workshop) are
invited to submit an extended version of their paper to the SoSyM
special section.
- The special section editors act as supervisors for the papers. They
assign at least three reviewers for each paper. The special section
editors also make the final recommendation, whether to accept the
paper or not, and whether and how intensive the resubmitted paper
is to be re-reviewed. The final decision is made by the
Editor-in-Chief and he notifies the paper's contact author with the
result of the review process, including reviewers' comments.
- The review process for special section papers doesn't differ much from
the regular process, but the reviewers for the special section papers
can be to some extent reused from the programme committee.
