Scope
Aims, scope and focus
New Generation Computing is published by Ohmsha and is in Zone 4 of Computer Science in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Logic, programming, and type systems, Logic, Reasoning, and Knowledge and Formal Methods in Verification, together about 35.8% of its articles. Its main subfields are Artificial Intelligence. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
The journal is specially intended to support the development of new computational and cognitive paradigms stemming from the cross-fertilization of various research fields. These fields include, but are not limited to, programming (logic, constraint, functional, object-oriented), distributed/parallel computing, knowledge-based systems, agent-oriented systems, and cognitive aspects of human embodied knowledge. It also encourages theoretical and/or practical papers concerning all types of learning, knowledge discovery, evolutionary mechanisms, human cognition and learning, and emergent systems that can lead to key technologies enabling us to build more complex and intelligent systems. The editorial board hopes that New Generation Computing will work as a catalyst among active researchers with broad interests by ensuring a smooth publication process.
