Our annual board meeting is coming up, so to help with planning, we&#8217;ve issued a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.computer.org\/portal\/pages\/internet\/content\/cfptheme.html\">call for special issue proposals<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The topics that typically come up in this blog and others it connects to are pretty much all fair game as special issue topics: REST and the programmatic web, service definition languages, scalability issues, intermediation, tools, reuse, development languages, back-end integration, etc. Putting together a special issue doesn&#8217;t take a lot of work, either. It requires you to find 3-4 authors each willing to contribute an article, reviewers to review those articles (and IC can help with that), and a couple others to work with you as editors. As editors you also have to write a brief introduction for the special issue. I&#8217;ve done a few special issues over the years and if you enlist the right authors, it&#8217;s a lot less work than you might think.<\/p>\n<p>As far as technical magazines go, IC is typically one of the most cited, usually second only to IEEE Software, as measured by independent firms. I think one reason for this is that it has a nice balance of industry and academic articles, so its pages provide information relevant to both the practitioner and the researcher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you may know, I&#8217;m a columnist for IEEE Internet Computing (IC), and I&#8217;m also on their editorial board.
