The INFORMS Journal on Computing (JOC) is a quarterly that publishes papers
in the intersection of operations research (OR) and computer science (CS).
Most papers contain original research, but we also welcome special papers in
a variety of forms, including Feature Articles on timely topics, Expository
Reviews making a comprehensive survey and evaluation of a subject area, and
State-of-the-Art Reviews that collect and integrate recent streams of
research.  

Specific areas of interest include: computational probability and analysis;
design and analysis of algorithms; heuristic search and learning;
high-performance computation; knowledge and data management; logic,
optimization, and constraint programming; modeling: methods and analysis;
simulation; and telecommunications and electronic commerce.

We take a very broad view of what constitutes the "the intersection of OR
and CS."  Topics and formats include, but are not limited to:

* OR is applied to a CS problem.  For example, queueing theory or simulation
is used to help design a telecommunications system or a network of
computers.

* CS is applied to an OR problem.  For example, advanced data structures are
used to improve an optimization or scheduling algorithm.

* Results draw from both OR and CS.  For example, a new heuristic is used to
accelerate a data-mining algorithm.

* Results explore uncharted areas with the potential of advancing OR or CS
and are in their intersection.
