ARCoSS was established in cooperation with the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science, EATCS, and the community of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS. Starting out with the proceedings of the EATCS main conferences and the ETAPS conferences, ARCoSS is also open to other high-quality proceedings focusing on computing and software science. Embedded in the overall framework of LNCS, ARCoSS is scientifically supervised by the ARCoSS subline series editors and advisory board and is published with its own distinctive cover.
