Yes I had seen that, but <Programming> seems to be having its first conference this year, and Modularity's proceedings seem to be closed up in the ACM Library. So it was difficult to ascertain anything about AOSA and it's mission as an organization from that info.

Hi all, This blog post/FAQ should clear up the story behind the journal, and its relation to AOSA: http://tagide.com/blog/academia/the-art-science-and-engineer... Kind regards, Tim

Thanks that's very informative! There are many elements of it that might have been interesting to include on the Journal site itself. It's great to see new open-access Journals opening up!
