Most of these journals are related to theoretical computer science, formal methods (verification, model checking, logics, etc.), software engineering, real-time systems, and to some extent to distributed computing.

Don’t hesitate to notify me in case you find any mistake, or want to suggest other journals.
I do not generally support the ranking of journals, nor fully agree with the "bibliometrics" things such as impact factors and the like; nevertheless, following several users’ feature requests, I added some of them for information.
