IEEE/ACM Transaction on Networking: Scope of Journal
The IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking
is committed to the timely publication of
high-quality papers that advance the state-of-the-art and practical
applications of communication networks. Both theoretical research
contributions (presenting new techniques, concepts, or analyses) and
applied contributions (reporting on experiences and experiments with
actual systems) and tutorial expositions of permanent reference value are
published. The topics covered by this journal include:
-
Network Architecture and Design,
including networks for local,
metropolitan or wide areas, Broadband and very high rate networks,
data networks, telephone networks, network interconnections, and
the performance analysis of these systems.
- Communication Protocols,
including the design and analysis of protocols
for network access, error recovery, routing, congestion, and flow
control; and formal methods for the verification, testing, and conversion
of communication protocols.
- Network Software,
including distributed processing environments for
network systems; network software architecture; network applications,
e.g., directory services and call processing; network signaling; and
application programming interfaces.
- Network Technologies
including the selection and use of different
technologies, such as lightwave or radio; switching technologies applied
to networks; and network systems integration.
- Network Services and Applications, including connectionless and
connection-oriented services; personal, location-independent
communications; multimedia services and applications; and the
implications of applications on network requirements.
- Network Operations and Management,
including operations and management
applications, network planning and evolution, network reliability and
survivability, and network security.
