Call for Papers IJSECS Vol. 6, No. 1 – April 2026, Special Theme: Agentic AI Systems
Dear Esteemed Authors and Researchers,
We are delighted to announce that the International Journal of Software Engineering and Computer Science (IJSECS) is now officially open for submissions for:
Volume 6, Number 1 — April 2026
Special Focus Theme
"Agentic AI Systems: Platforms, Ecosystems, and the Future of Autonomous Intelligence"
For this edition, we are particularly excited to invite research contributions surrounding the rapidly evolving landscape of AI Agent platforms and ecosystems. We strongly encourage authors to submit manuscripts covering — but not limited to — the following 6 prominent AI Agent platforms:
- OpenClaw — Agent skill runtime, supply chain security, ecosystem analysis
- Moltbook — Agent-native social networks, multi-agent interaction
- Anthropic Agent Skills — Skill marketplace, safety and transparency
- NeuroSkill — Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) integration, real-time agentic systems
- Clawdbot / Moltbot — Evolution of early agent platforms
- MIT AI Agent Index — Benchmarking, documentation, and policy of AI agents
We are highly enthusiastic to receive original research, review articles, and case studies that explore these platforms from perspectives such as architecture and system design, security and supply chain vulnerabilities, social behavior of autonomous agents, human-AI interaction and cognitive modeling, ethics, transparency and governance, as well as performance benchmarking and evaluation.
Special Announcement — Article Processing Charge (APC) Waiver
We are pleased to inform that authors who submit and publish articles related to the special focus theme above — covering any of the 6 AI Agent platforms mentioned — will receive a full waiver of the Article Processing Charge (APC) for this edition. This waiver applies exclusively to manuscripts accepted for Volume 6, Number 1 (April 2026) of IJSECS.
We hope this initiative encourages more researchers to contribute their valuable work and advance the collective understanding of agentic AI systems.
