An interdisciplinary journal connecting biocomputing, adaptive and organic software architecture, unconventional computation, and reproducible computational engineering.
The Journal of Biocomputing and Organic Software Architecture (JBOSA) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal at the intersection of computer science, software engineering, biological computation, and adaptive systems. It publishes research that translates principles such as adaptation, self-organization, resilience, evolution, signaling, and distributed biological information processing into explicit computational models, algorithms, software architectures, programming abstractions, tools, or experimentally validated systems. The journal also covers molecular and cellular computation, unconventional and neuromorphic computing, biohybrid systems, and reproducible engineering methods. Biological analogy by itself is not sufficient; submissions must make a clear, technically assessable computing or software-engineering contribution and support it with appropriate analysis, implementation, validation, or reproducibility evidence.
Online ISSN: not yet assigned. Delvierre Publisher intends to request an online ISSN once this journal's inaugural issue meets the Romanian National ISSN Centre's eligibility requirements.
Current article processing charge: no APC.
Manuscripts are handled according to the published peer-review policy and publishing policies; only confirmed appointments appear on the editorial board. An ISSN identifies a journal but does not certify its scholarly quality or database indexing.
JBOSA advances rigorous computing research in which biological principles or unconventional substrates are translated into explicit models, algorithms, architectures, software systems, tools, or validated engineering methods.
Bio-inspired, self-regulating, resilient, self-healing, and environmentally adaptive software systems.
DNA, molecular, cellular, synthetic-biological, and other non-conventional substrates for computation.
Evolutionary, emergent, distributed, and self-organising computational models and architectures.
Architectures and computational models that depart from conventional software and hardware abstractions.
Verification, safety, resilience, fault tolerance, and rigorous evaluation of adaptive or organic architectures.
Programming languages, runtimes, middleware, datasets, benchmarks, and experimental platforms for biocomputing.
Researchers, engineers, and advanced practitioners in computer science, software architecture and software engineering; bio-inspired, adaptive, autonomic, and self-organizing systems; molecular, synthetic-biological, biohybrid, neuromorphic, and unconventional computing; formal methods, reliability, and resilient systems; computational biology where a genuine computing-method contribution is present; and research software, benchmarking, and reproducible computational engineering.
The journal is designed for work that connects theory, architecture, implementation, and validation, with biological inspiration translated into a technically assessable computational or software contribution.
Editorial decisions remain independent of author identity, institutional status, commercial considerations, and the prospect of financial benefit to the publisher.
JBOSA uses double-anonymized (double-blind) peer review by default. Author and reviewer identities are concealed from one another during external review. Research and review manuscripts normally require at least two suitably qualified independent reviewers.
Editors select reviewers on subject expertise, independence, workload, and absence of relevant conflicts of interest. Author suggestions may be considered but do not determine reviewer selection.
Reviewer reports are advisory. The handling editor and Editor-in-Chief remain responsible for editorial decisions and may decline manuscripts before external review when scope, completeness, technical quality, or policy requirements are not met.
Software, models, configurations, benchmarks, data, and computational workflows should be documented sufficiently for independent technical assessment whenever legal, ethical, and licensing constraints permit.
Appointments are published only after the invited editor has agreed to serve and the publisher office has completed the appointment record.
JBOSA is owned and published by Delvierre Publisher. The Publisher formally appoints the Editor-in-Chief and editorial-board members after qualification and conflict-of-interest review. The Editor-in-Chief may recommend board appointments and retains independent responsibility for scholarly editorial decisions.
Authors retain copyright in articles published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0) and grant Delvierre Publisher the non-exclusive rights required to publish and maintain the version of record.
Authors should provide data, source code, software artefacts, model definitions, configurations, benchmarks, and analysis procedures needed to evaluate and reproduce reported work whenever legally, ethically, and technically possible.
Delvierre Publisher maintains publication files, metadata, and operational backups. External long-term preservation arrangements will be named publicly only after they are formally established.
JBOSA follows Delvierre Publisher policies for publication ethics, authorship, competing interests, complaints, appeals, corrections, expressions of concern, retractions, and post-publication record maintenance.
JBOSA is operated as Diamond Open Access during its founding volume. Authors are not charged a submission fee, article processing charge, page charge, or publication fee.
JBOSA does not currently accept advertising on journal editorial or article pages. Any future advertising must remain clearly separate from editorial content and decision-making.
