Abstract

The rapid advancement of quantum computing is reshaping the landscape of software engineering, requiring new methods to software architecture. Unlike traditional software development, quantum software systems introduce unique challenges in design, implementation, and scalability, requiring well-defined architectural frameworks to ensure reliability and efficiency. This special issue presents research contributions that explore software architecture for quantum computing systems, addressing key aspects such as architectural decisions, quality assurance, scalability, and security. This editorial introduces the accepted papers and highlights their contributions to advancing the foundations of quantum software engineering.

期刊介绍： Information and Software Technology is the international archival journal focusing on research and experience that contributes to the improvement of software development practices. The journal''s scope includes methods and techniques to better engineer software and manage its development. Articles submitted for review should have a clear component of software engineering or address ways to improve the engineering and management of software development. Areas covered by the journal include: • Software management, quality and metrics, • Software processes, • Software architecture, modelling, specification, design and programming • Functional and non-functional software requirements • Software testing and verification & validation • Empirical studies of all aspects of engineering and managing software development Short Communications is a new section dedicated to short papers addressing new ideas, controversial opinions, "Negative" results and much more. Read the Guide for authors for more information. The journal encourages and welcomes submissions of systematic literature studies (reviews and maps) within the scope of the journal. Information and Software Technology is the premiere outlet for systematic literature studies in software engineering.
