IEEE Journal on Selected Areas of Communication on Network Science
Over the past several years there has been increasing interest in studying the
commonalities among multiple networks such as logistical networks, biological
networks, financial and economic networks, transportation networks, cognitive
networks, social networks, information networks and communications networks.
Several possible cross-network commonalities have been identified and there's
an emerging line of research that seeks a theoretical underpinning to these
commonalities. Collectively these efforts are known as "network science".
This J-SAC issue seeks to highlight advances in network science.
Topics of interest for this issue include:
* Insights from other types of networks that can be applied to
communications problems (e.g. applying concepts from biological networks
to communications networks);
* Aggregate performance of combined networks (e.g. rather than modeling a
social network and communications network separately, modeling them as one
combined network);
* Transmission of information through combined networks (including contagion
or cascade effects);
* Insights into the strengths and limitations of multi-network studies as
applied to communications networks;
* Communications network design inspired by network science principles
More broadly, the issue welcomes any submission that is clearly applicable to
communications networks and incorporates insights from non-communications
networks.
Prospective authors should prepare their manuscripts in accordance with the
IEEE J-SAC format described at http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html.
Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to
http://edas.info/12217. The timetable is as follows:
Manuscript submission: 1 August 2012
Acceptance notification: 15 December 2012*
Final manuscript due: 1 February 2013
Publication: Q2 2013
*The editorial team hopes to make decisions somewhat earlier to permit
some papers to get a second round of reviewing before final submission.
The Guest Editor and Co-Editors for this issue are: Guest Editor: Dr. Craig
Partridge (Raytheon BBN Technologies); Co-Guest Editors: Ananthram Swami
(Army Research Lab), Tom La Porta (Penn State), Richard Gibbens (University
of Cambridge), Ching-Yung Lin (IBM), Eiko Yoneki (Univ. of Cambridge, UK)
